When BA replace their Gatwick based 737s with A319s is it going to be a straight 1 for 1 swap or is gatwick seeing an increase in aircraft? If so, and assuming that the A319 is more fuel efficient than the 737 would there be a possibility of BA reopening the route? It would give connectivity to a load of BA destinations that are unlikely to be served by anyone from NCL.
I've used the gatwick flight on three different carriers umpteen times and the vast majority of times, load factors seem to have been excellent. OK, I agree that full seats don't automatically equal profitability, but I'm amazed that no one can seem to make this route work.
