As flagged on our forum the carrier will operate twice-daily weekday flights and daily weekend services from the end of March 2024, with the following schedules:
Monday to Friday
- Departs Rome Fiumicino at 0925 and 1435, arriving into London City at 1100 and 1610

ITA will be the first carrier to operate the route since BA CityFlyer suspended flights in 2020 following the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Italian carrier also recently announced plans to add a fourth daily frequency between London City and Milan Linate from January.

Commenting on the news Anne Doyere, aviation director, London City Airport, said:
“We’re delighted to strengthen our partnership with ITA Airways and bring back another key route into our network as we continue to recover and grow.
“Rome will open up a huge range of new travel options for those on connecting flights, so we look forward to welcoming many new passengers to London City”.
ITA also flies between Heathrow and Rome, and last month announced plans to temporarily serve the route with its new A321neo aircraft featuring a fully flat business class product.
