Cathay Pacific

Is this regarding Cathay? Travel24 has previously mentioned in this thread that CX are planning to return to Gatwick from October this year, 5 weekly to start off with based on internal sources...

Long haul expansion at LGW

I agree with you. Given the instability in the middle east and Lebanon at the moment, I don’t see MEA in a position to expand their London operations, especially with other airlines, including BA and...

Excellent news once again :) LGW really is continuing to go from strength to strength- it is quite remarkable to look back at the Gatwick in the last few years of ownership under BAA during 2006-9...

BA LGW-BKK now live

LGW-BKK now bookable on BA :) Shame that they aren't reusing the old BA9/10 flight numbers, which of course have a certain place in history. Really hoping this route will do well and will remain at...

At last! This has long been rumoured even before BKK was cut from LHR. A very nice addition to the BA network at LGW. The question is though, will this route remain at LGW for the long term, or will...

I'd imagine that there is a reasonable chance of EK increasing LGW to 4 a day, but I reckon the additional rotation is more likely to be flown with the 77W, similar to the recently added LHR flight....

Who's next?

Agreed. This is a sad loss for LHR, and indeed, the end of an era for ITA, who have, of course, had a long history serving Heathrow through their predecessor, Alitalia. Certainly did not see this one...

Interesting, wonder why they're closing LHR? Also, if the LHR route closes at the end of March, I wonder why LGW isn't starting until 3 months afterwards? I've just checked their website and LGW-FCO...

Gosh, wow, wasn't expecting this. A lot of competition with EZY, Wizz and VY also serving LGW-FCO. BA also used to fly to Rome from LGW for many years up until Covid hit.

Swiss to ZRH

A very nice addition to Gatwick :) Swiss have an excellent reputation for being one of the best European airlines; can't wait to see their A220 at LGW soon.

In keeping in the spirit following a...

LGW future long haul

I'm largely in agreement with my good friend, Sotonsean. I love Gatwick, and I think that it is a far better airport than LHR by many measures. I want to see it continue to thrive, and not just be...

I think they're still rejigging/finalising the S24 schedules and a/c for LHR-HKG, so this is more than likely to change from the current 77W/A359 mix.
