LGW Delays

I'm in YYZ at the moment waiting to operate a flight back to LGW and have a delay, looking at the BAA website seems a lot of delays today? Could someone let me know whats going on at LGW! Is it weather? Cheers

Wizz Air launches London Gatwick – Katowice flight
Wizz Air announced today that it would launch its Katowice - London Gatwick flight from January 31 2008. Gatwick is already the third London airport where passengers from Katowice airport will be able to fly with Wizz Air. The new route will be operated daily.
By introducing London Gatwick to its network from Katowice, Wizz Air will increase its number of routes from its largest base to 25. This will further reinforce its position as the leading airline in Silesia, which offers the most flights on most routes from Katowice.
Well, what will be next? Heathrow?

Presumably easyjet will incorporate the GB business into South ?

I think in the last 12 months GB accounted for about 2.3 million pax and almost 16,000 aircraft movements at Gatwick.

Can South Terminal readily absorb that level of traffic ? It's not pleasant at busy times at the moment.....

Any guesses at who could move out to North to accomodate the influx ?

Do you think BAA Gatwick have a plan to facilitate this ?

Flybe?

Their operations would probably be more suited to the North Terminal

i definitely know that qatar airways wants to be in the north. should have happened when continental moved over from south. baa offered qr at the time to come over but they would be boarding from coaching gate to a remote stand and qatar airways declined their offer.

I think Thompsonfly would be a good bet , once the tie-up with First Choice is complete

Also agree QR will go to the North once Continental / American transfer the wide bodies to LHR
Looks like the South Terminal will be Orange -- very Orange !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good luck Menzies -- your going to need it

Will be flying CO LGW-EWR-MEX in 3 weeks.

Can someone please confirm whether CO has a fast checked bag drop off area at LGW? I'd like to check-in online.

Cheers!
