BA Cityflyer People Business Partner

BA Cityflyer is an airline with a difference. Yes, we’re part of the British Airways family and take great pride delivering the same impeccable customer service. However, we also do things in our own, unique way.

We serve a business and leisure market from London City, a single-terminal airport just east of Canary Wharf. It’s a place where you’ll really get to know your colleagues and become part of a close-knit team.

You might also get to know our customers too, some of whom fly with us weekly, or even daily. In fact, our diverse and dedicated team really feel like they’re part of a family when they join us.

So, whether you are a reassuring voice on the end of a phone, a smile at the door, under a wing keeping the turbines spinning or landing us gently in exciting places, a job at BA Cityflyer is yours to make.
