British Airways has announced that will be increasing frequencies across a number of European routes and plans to add more than 90,000 seats from Tuesday, May 11th. According to the UK flag carrier, the reason why there are more flights to the Canary Islands, Greece and Turkey, is mainly due to “the overwhelming interest” in summer sunshine holidays.

The UK carrier will also be adding 26 additional weekly frequencies to a range of destinations including Corfu, Kos, Paphos, Rhodes, Lanzarote, Tenerife and Bodrum.
