A new route between London City Airport and Dublin has been announced by British Airways.

Beginning service on June 1st, the route will see three flights operate each day under the CityFlyer banner between the two destinations.

The announcement comes as London City moves towards completing a number of improvements at the airport, including extra aircraft stands, an extended departure lounge, live sports screens, free Wi-Fi and new self-service kiosks.

British Airways also said that it is to increase flight frequencies on its routes from London City to Nice and Edinburgh in September.

"Dublin is an important new route, linking two financial capitals and we are delighted to be able to offer a three-a-day service in direct response to passenger demand," commented Peter Simpson, managing director of the CityFlyer service.

Last week, British Airways revealed plans to operate daily flights from Gatwick Airport to New York as of October.
