BA Connect
British Airways Citiexpress is a fully owned subsidiary airline of British Airways. It operates a network of domestic and European services from a number of airports in the United Kingdom on behalf of British Airways. There is no variation in aircraft livery, uniforms, standard of service or brand name to those used by British Airways itself - the only sign passengers may notice that they are travelling on a Citiexpress flight is a general footnote on ticketing, or a cabin announcement that the flight is "operated by British Airways Citiexpress".

Profile
Citiexpress handles most of British Airways' domestic and European services that do not serve London Heathrow or Gatwick airports. Citiexpress has hubs in Birmingham, Bristol, London City, Manchester and Southampton. From these locations the carrier operates services to several north west European destinations and also to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Aberdeen. A few services also operate from Gatwick. In total, Citiexpress flies from 17 airports in the UK and Ireland on 63 routes to major or central regional airports. As a subsidiary of, and operator for, British Airways, it is by extension a member of oneworld.
Citiexpress was formed on 31st March 2002 through the merger British Regional Airlines (bought by BA in 2001) and Brymon Airways, a wholly-owned franchisee. Manx Airlines was absorbed by Citiexpress later in 2002.
Destinations
Citiexpress operates from several destinations that are also served by the parent company, and are part of British Airways destinations. Those that are not served by British Airways itself, mainly UK regional destinations, are listed in British Airways franchise destinations
