I don't recall SAS and KLM having fifth freedom rights ex PIK - though AC and PA did.
I'm sure SAS did as the flight was moved to GLA and operated with a DC9. They have long and bitter memories in Ayrshire. I agree that most of BA at Gatwick has little future. Ahhh I remember the MD11s on the AA54 / 55.
Do we know if the ORD flight is going to 2 x B757s for certain next summer?
