British Airways partner has confirmed its intentions to restore services to the capital.

SUN-AIR of Scandinavia is expected to resume links between London City and Billund next month.

The British Airways franchise partner which operates a fleet of Dornier 328JETs, is a long-time user of the Docklands hub but suspended its services to Denmark during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The relaunched route is due to open on September 5 and will operate six-times weekly between Monday and Thursday.

Flight BA 8209 departs Billund at 0835hrs and is scheduled to arrive at London City at 0915hrs; the return leg – BA 8210 – departs 30 minutes later and touches down into the Danish city at 1220hrs local.

An evening rotation – operating on Wednesdays and Thursdays only – leaves Denmark at 1750hrs and lands in London at 1830hrs (BA 8211), and departs again (as BA 8212) at 1900hrs for a 2135hrs arrival into Billund.
