BA Flights To Ibiza From London City Airport

LONDON City Airport's first venture into leisure tourism appears to be working well.

British Airways has announced it is extending new summer flights to Ibiza and Mallorca by an extra five weeks.

DJ Paul Woolford helped to launch the service last month cabin crew member Stacey
The extension means services to the Balearic Islands until the end of October - which includes the school half term holidays.

Luke Hayhoe, commercial manager for BA CityFlyer, the British Airways subsidiary which operates the service, said: "These leisure routes have really taken off from London City, they proved so popular that we have already increased frequency to Mallorca to five flights a week and to Ibiza to four flights a week in July and August."

The flights were the first time London City Airport has launched new routes targeted primarily at the leisure market, having always previously been regarded as a business-only service.

Awkward Flight to Ibiza For Kate Moss

Pete Doherty bumped into former girlfriend Kate Moss on a flight to Ibiza on Tuesday, reports said.

The pair are understood to have come face-to-face after the model’s daughter spotted Doherty at Gatwick airport.

The former couple then travelled on the same plane together, but didn’t speak during the flight.

"They both looked extremely uncomfortable and spent the whole flight trying not to catch each other's eyes,” a source told The Sun.

“When the flight landed Kate was ushered off and they did not speak."

The pair split in 2007 after an 18 month romance. Moss now dates Kills frontman Jamie Hince.

Doherty was travelling to the clubbing mecca to perform a pre-season gig at the Ibiza Rocks Bar in San Antonio.
