Was told on our Brands conference day last week by the BA Gatwick boss that BA is finally making money at LGW and short haul broke even last year and hopefully this year will start making money
They are investing in A319 and A320 for LGW having had board approval with 1 extra 777 and more Airbus joining short haul
All the short haul fleet is having a makeover starting next month and expected to be completed by the end of the year , including new cabin refresh , toilets and seats . The new Recardo light weight seats ( i think thats what there called ) are being fitted and increasing seat config to 144 on the A319 and another 12 seats i believe on the A320
New routes are being announce to the Med shortly from LGW and they are def. continuing to be a full service carrier i.e. drinks , bags etc
