Major cut-back at LGW ?
Apologies if this was already mentioned:
TheAirDB.com tells me that BA is cutting a lot of routes from LGW:
Malaga (AGP) , Alicante (ALC), Barcelona (BCN), Gibraltar (GIB),
Krakow (KRK), Madrid (MAD), Malta (MLA). Is this the first sign
of changes due to the merger with Iberia ?
I don't feel too affected by this sitting in BHX (Iberia doesn't honour
us with flights), but not great news for Londoners, EZY gets closer to
a monopoly. Stelios must like this.
Had a feeling of slow decline already when they tried and failed with
Dresden (DRS) and Vilnius (VNO) from LGW. I wonder if they keep
Luxembourg (LUX), another oddity in their destination list, and with
two competing airlines (Luxair and VLM/CityJet).
Just to mentioned also that I find BA's prices for TXL-LHR flights quite
low, not that much more than EZY, at times less, which is good news for
a customer, but likely bad news for the company.
Not much different for FRA-LHR.
