Right. Strange the press release on their site is dated today timed at 14.00 hrs. Other than a reference recently to a planned Oakland service on another site, I have not seen any previous press release from Norwegian on this news. Must look for better sources.

Norwegian Long Haul
Looks as though it will be approximately 3 based 789's and 1 788 based off the current schedule. There is about 4 weekly 'free' slots based on this, so there could be some frequency increases or another route, or it could simply be allocated days of rest. This presumably means 1 788 and 1 789 will be available for Norwegian to expand the rest of their long haul operation.

I believe that it was Virgin who had their hat in the ring for the route to Moscow but then easyJet were awarded it.
EasyJet announced some months ago that the route was to go, saying that they wouldn't role out at return to the route at a later date when conditions improve politically, Carolyn McCall also sighted high via costs as a reason for the poor economics of the route. I guess Christmas is an extreme example when fares will be higher. In the round it hasn't been stacking up, and it used to be x2 daily in each direction...

Yeah I can't see BA running it either. As for economics of the route, the prices and aircraft loads haven't changed much in the time the route has been running. Taking into account the frequency reduction.
With Transaero gone this leaves BA and Aeroflot which is not great. Maybe S7 or Wizz would be a good addition. Easyjet should not be allowed to retain the route licence if they are pulling out. And maybe they're chasing "easyier" cash elsewhere.
Been travelling there for years originally on the Bmi.

With the upcoming Terminal rearrangements couldn't BA just move all operations in Pier 3?

Wizzair have in the past operated from London Gatwick but it was a very short lived affair of a matter of a few months about 10 years or so too Warsaw.
Other former UK destinations for Wizzair are
Bournemouth
Coventry
Durham Tees Valley
London Stansted
Prestwick

With approximately 26 based aircraft and around 55 routes served from LGW how would you expect BA using just pier 3 the satellite be a good idea seeing it only has 8 gates plus as Skipness has pointed out BA has upto 6 777s on the ground at the same time during the morning.
