The airline has also confirmed it will continue Heathrow operations into the winter for Ljubljana and Istanbul’s Sabiha Gokcen airport will become a year-round destination, offering a four-times weekly service.
Neil Chernoff, BA’s director of network and alliances, said: "We are excited to be adding European cities Riga, Belgrade and Cologne to our route network.
"We also know that Italy in particular is a firm favourite with our customers, so we look forward to adding more capacity with flights to Milan and Turin, alongside more choice across Europe generally."
