British Airways will – due to growing demand – open a new route between Rotterdam The Hague Airport and London City Airport in March 2014. The new service will see a Saab SF-2000 turboprop aircraft (leased from Eastern Airways) fly up and down five times a day. The 50-passenger Saab SF-2000 will be replaced from September 2014 by a bigger plane, an Embraer 170, with a 76-seat capacity. The new route comes on top of a twice daily BA flight between Rotterdam and London Heathrow, that connects the Rotterdam region to the world via BA’s intercontinental services.
