Is there any solution to Gatwick's problem of airlines starting a new route to all sorts of fanfare and then a few years later shifting to LHR (or if they already operate there, cancelling the Gatwick service)? Lufthansa, China Airlines, Garuda, Vietnam Airlines, Aeroflot, Rwandair and then longer ago Delta, Continental, American, are ones that spring to mind. Is there any way for Gatwick to stop being simply a stepping stone, a way to launch London flights until Heathrow is available? It has been going on as long as I can remember, and must be extremely frustrating for Gatwick's management.
