Wizzair starting another route, Gdansk, from mid June, daily. Their 4th route?

[Skipness One Foxtrot]

What’s the (never ending) work in progress on Pier 5 at the moment? Stands 557-559 are being dug up, is this the new A380 gate for Emirates?

yes exactly.

BA launching 6x weekly Bergamo from 1 Sept https://www.businesstraveller.com/bu...rgamo-service/

[VickersVicount]

LGW accumulating a respectable BA short haul portfolio. Who said BA Shorthaul at LGW was dead?
Surprised BA JFK and YYZ have survived into another year....

[vectisman]

British Airways also to increase Cancun to 5 weekly for winter19/20.

This is article also hints more routes to come as BA pleased with Gatwick performance.

Frequency on BA Gatwick to Toronto has actually been increased this summer. With Air Belgium operating one of the LHR Toronto daily services for a period this summer some people are opting to rebook on Gatwick service!

Virgin and Delta to launch JFK and BOS from Gatters?

https://www.ttgmedia.com/news/news/v...k-routes-17571

This is fabulous news for Gatters, they look like
1) They're going to make a real go of this being Gatwick, and like Cathay, not just seeing this as a LHR overflow
2) It's a stragegic spoiler for JetBlue primarily (allegedly)
3) It could tip Norwegian over the edge if they were REALLY hoping to start making money

[True Blue]

Virgin/Delta to start Lgw to JFK/Bos next summer from Lgw. No indication yet who will operate the services.

i wonder if this is in reaction to the expected JetBlue announcement, due on the 10th April, JFK and BOS to London.

Plus of course Delta around that time give or take a couple of years operated Atlanta, Cincinnati, Detroit and I think Miami

That would be "weekly", the existing LHR presence to JFK and BOS is 26 daily via AA/BA/DL/VS at 176 weekly for the winter season just gone.
Remember Norwegian only fly 11 daily after building up the base over years, BA's existing LGW operation of long standing is also 11 daily.

VS/DL have more than 18 flights a week to both airports. It will be 18 daily.

[EZYMAN]

If people could read articles properly they’d read that both DL and VS collectively offer 18 Daily flights between the JFK and BOS to the U.K.

Whoever thinks they’ll go from 0 to 18 daily must be on something

We know that but the TTG Media article does not say that, it specifically says 18 daily Gatwick.
