Pulling out of Southampton
Every week, Cirium, an aviation analytics firm, releases a recent changes report. The report outlines the changes in an airline’s schedule from one week to the next. This week’s report shows that as of now, 
British Airways
is cutting its operations in Southampton in summer 2025.
An airline spokesperson told Aviation Week,
“We are suspending our summer 2025 operations from Southampton Airport and contacting any affected customers with options including rebooking on an alternative flight with us or another airline or a full refund,”
Data shows that between May and August 2025, British Airways had an average of less than 4,000 seats available each month. BA had plans to fly to Palma de Mallorca, Faro, Bergerac, and Malaga. Most routes had one flight a week.

Southampton Airport is completely losing service on two routes. BA is the only carrier that connects the city with Bergerac and Malaga. easyJet serves Faro and Palma de Mallorca, and will continue to do so.
Other service from Southampton
Despite BA pulling out of Southampton, the airport will still continue to have more than 1,200 monthly flights. According to Cirium, six carriers operate at the airport; Loganair, Aer Lingus, Blue Islands, Aurigny, easyJet, and KLM. During each summer month, there are about 92,000 seats available at SOU.

Aer Lingus follows Loganair, with about 300 monthly flights. Its seat offering averages 21,000 monthly despite only operating two routes. According to Cirium, Aer Lingus flies from Southampton to Dublin and Belfast.
The route to Belfast is operated three times daily on the ATR-72 aircraft, with 72 seats. Flights to Dublin are also operated by the ATRs, but twice daily.
Blue Islands provides service in the Channel Islands and has been doing so for nearly 20 years. According to Southampton Airport, Blue Islands is an independently owned and operated airline, with a focus on serving the community and simplifying regional flying.
