I have used Lgw at lot since the new owners took over and have to say, Lgw has improved a lot.
We are told that Lhr is full, I would say from experience, well over full. I often think, if it was another place, the H & S exec would step in to do something about it.
Lgw has been very successful recently at attracting new airlines and it seems Agean might be coming as well.
My question, will Lgw be increasingly successful at attracting "full service" carriers as they are not able to get into Lhr? As more new carriers arrive, will this encourage more new carriers and Lgw as a result see more business pax? Will it see more connecting pax?
I have to say, I really dislike the way some see Lgw as nothing more than a bucket and spade airport. I use it for business a lot. I find it hard to believe that if a carrier wants to serve London, they will not bother unless that can use Lhr.
Is Lgw on the verge of a change and more success?
