British Airways has announced a new direct route from Heathrow to Bergen, Norway, starting next summer, alongside a swap of two existing holiday routes between Heathrow and London City.
The airline confirmed on Tuesday (10 November) that it will fly five times a week between Heathrow Terminal 3 and Bergen from 15 April to 30 October 2027. It is the airline's first scheduled Bergen service in several years. British Airways said the timing is designed to support onward connections through Heathrow to US cities including New York, Boston, Miami and Chicago, pointing to strong demand from North American travellers for the Norwegian city despite there being no direct transatlantic flights there.
As part of the same schedule update, British Airways is moving two existing seasonal routes between its London airports. The Skiathos route will switch to Heathrow Terminal 5 from London City, operating three times a week between 20 May and 11 September 2027. Going the other way, the Perugia route moves from Heathrow to London City, with five flights a week from 1 May to 28 September.
The airline's regional subsidiary, BA Cityflyer, is also adding two new weekly Mediterranean routes from Scotland: Glasgow to Nice, running from 15 May to 3 October 2027, and Edinburgh to Split, running from 15 May to 19 June and again from 4 September to 2 October.
Neil Chernoff, British Airways' Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, said the airline was "delighted to be expanding our European network with new routes and convenient airport moves, offering customers even more ways to explore some of Europe's most exciting destinations."
The changes were confirmed in a British Airways press release and reported by aviation industry outlet Aviation24.be, which carried the full list of new weekly frequencies and operating dates.
For passengers currently booked on Skiathos flights from London City or Perugia flights from Heathrow, the practical impact lands next year: anyone travelling in the 2027 season should double check which airport their flight departs from once schedules move onto general sale, since Skiathos shifts into Heathrow and Perugia shifts out to London City. Seats on the new Bergen, Nice and Split routes are bookable now.
What this means for your journey: if you're flying to Bergen, Skiathos, Nice or Split next summer, confirm your departure terminal when you book, and see our guide to [Heathrow's terminals and public transport](/public-transport/) for getting to the right one on the day.
