At a rcent Staff Forum, Rod Eddington was asked if he may return a New York service to Gatwick, as there was demand from local businesses and Continental are currently have the monopoly with their Newark service. The question has been raised before that, if we don't want to duplicate Heathrow's routes, perhaps the LHR-EWR (Newark) service could be transferred to LGW.
(New York pax please note, with the high speed "Rapid Transit" service between Newark and New York's Penn Station, Newark is now as convenient for Manhattan as JFK!)
Well, what do you think, PPRUNE pax? (For these purposes, the term "Regular" pax means more than 2 journeys per year)
How many PPrune pax (a) Regular pax who prefer BA but currently use CO on the route
(b) Regular pax who prefer BA LGW but currently travel to LHR for BA LHR-JFK or LHR-EWR journeys
(c) Occasional pax who would prefer to use BA LGW.
(d) Pax who would prefer to use LGW, but would still use LHR if the Gatwick service flew to Newark.
Thanks friends, I hope R.E. may view your replies!
