Garuda into Gatwick ?, not soon....
Late arrival of Boeing 777-300 planes for Garuda
Posted Wed, 16/03/2011 - 7:32am by indahnesia
JAKARTA - The new Boeing 777-300 planes that were ordered by Garuda Indonesia (GIAA), will not be delivered to Garuda as scheduled. The planes were due to arrive late 2012 or at latest early 2013, but Boeing now says that is will not be able to comply to this. There is a backlog at the Boeing plant in Seattle in the United States. Garuda expects that two out of the total order of 10 will be delivered in 2013.

Korean
And not forgetting Korean Air to Seoul starting April 2012 and the 'proposed' Air Nigeria flights to Lagos.
It has been mentioned on other forums that Avianca have obtained slots at LGW for a Bogota route for next summer.
I wonder why Aeromexico didn't start a LGW to Mexico City route after the collapse of Mexicana, after all they did contest the route prior to Mexicana obtaining slots at LGW, so maybe Aeromexico could be a fiture airline at LGW.
I can see the likes of Aerolineas Argentinas, Aeromexico, Avianca, Garuda Indonesia, Philipine Airlines, Senegal Airlines at LGW in the near future with possibly Air Jamaica who did annnounce early last year that they intended a return to LHR but was never materialised so slots as well as aircraft could have been an issue as to why flights never commenced.
In the forseable future I could envisage the return of Yemenia (previously LGW before a move to LHR) to the UK once the ban has been lifted so a possible LGW route to Sanaa if they have lost their slots at LHR, and maybe Air Tanzania (previously used LGW) and have commented about a UK route with an Airbus 330, Mongolian Airlines who two years ago made a statement regarding a possible route to LGW from Ulan Battar, Nepal Airlines (previously used LGW) who has also expressed an interest in a return to the UK as they have an Airbus 330 on order plus Skymark Airlines of Japan who have Airbus 380s on order and plan on using them to Europe.
The future is bright the future is Gatwick:-)
Lets hope LGW can retain its glory days again with a host of new international airlines starting operations, they will be a very welcome sight indeed against the backdrop of orange!

Tomorrow Vietnam Airlines will launch its flights.
It looks like EK will upgrade the morning flight (EK011/012) from the current B772 to a B773 from the start of the winter schedule 2012/2013. The A380 comes closer and closer.

Rumour in the Malay Business Times that Air Asia X will drop London Gatwick (and Paris Orly) in 2012, possibly as early as February. Emission Trading Scheme is being blamed - alghough underlying profitability is also thought to be weak

I suspect it has more to do with MH's increase in capacity to UK next year with their A380, MH's entry into Oneworld (presumably with BA codeshares) and Air Asia's 20% investment in MH. Seems like it's more part of a grand Malaysian strategic move to channel long haul through MH and short haul through Air Asia.

AirAsia X
They should never have left STN they were doing just fine North of London.
Flying from STN saved a hell of a lot of people a hell of a lot of time and stress
not forgeting a good 20% of there passengers visited Cambridge as well as London.
and there was no MH to compeat with.

Nope, I dont follow that at all. What has Cambridge got to do with it, 20% of AirAsiaX inbound tourist pax visited Scotland yet they dont fly from Glasgow.
I dont believe the switch from STN to LGW is the potential reason for its apparent downfall.

Its good to see airlines beginning to compete with 'fortress orange' at LGW for passengers and prices sake!! Its been more noticible recently with:
Monarch starting Barcelona, Venice, Dubrovnik, Heraklion, Milan
BA starting Nice
Lufthansa starting Frankfurt to scare Ezy off/make the most of their hub
Air One starting Milan
I realise the mentioned airlines are all aiming for different areas of the markets but it is good to have a choice on plenty of routes, unlike STN with its equally large but less competed with 'fortress harp'!!

Looking at the Air One times, is there another route to come? Times at the minute seem to indicate aircraft sitting at Lgw for several hours. Another route, or have I got it wrong?

Whilst flying out to GCI this evening, I noticed a BA 319/320 (couldn't quite see which); whilst I'm aware that three of these come over from Heathrow for the summer, it was a surprise to see one today. What was it doing?
