BA EuroFlyer is a subsidiary airline of the UK's flag carrier, British Airways. The airline is being created to offer a competitive and lower cost product for travellers and allow British Airways to better compete with low-cost rivals Ryanair, Easyjet and Wizz Air. BA plans to operate its services from London Gatwick Airport to a range of European destinations. It is planned that BA EuroFlyer will begin services in March 2022 to 35 destinations using 3 Airbus A320 before gradually increasing this for summer 2022. Although the airline will be a subsidiary of British Airways it will still be labelled with British Airways livery and branding as well as its cabin and service products. Initially, upon the launch of BA EuroFlyer, British Airways will operate the services until the airline gains its own AOC (Air Operators Certificate) and aircraft transferred to it by BA.
