BA Euroflyer will launch flights from Gatwick to Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands this winter.

From 2 November, it will fly twice weekly, on Thursdays and Sundays, throughout the winter season.

Flights will be operated by a mix of A320 and A321 aircraft.

A third flight will be added, on Wednesdays, from 28 February next year.

Return fares will start from £129, with 10% off for bookings before 18 June.

Tom Stoddart, BA Euroflyer’s CEO, said: “Adding Fuerteventura means we now fly to the four largest Canary Islands, which are great options for families, couples and friends alike.

“Fuerteventura enjoys warm weather year-round, so it is a great option for those looking for winter sunshine without travelling further afield.”

Flights also include a Club Europe (business class) option, including pre-flight lounge access, more personal space, a full meal with drinks from the bar, and additional baggage allowance.

Fuerteventura is the seventh new service to be added to BA Euroflyer’s route network this year.

The airline, a wholly owned BA subsidiary, recently announced new summer flights to Montpellier, Corfu, Mykonos and Salzburg in addition to new winter services to Sharm El Sheikh and Innsbruck.
