Given that this is the Gatwick thread, might it not have been better just to quote the single line from that ATW article that was relevant to LGW ?

Georgian Airways to suspend Gatwick-Tbilisi for much of the winter apart from the Xmas period
Last weekend they managed 42 pax on an E190 with 97 seats for a 5 hour flight - probably not a profitable flight

Georgian will apply a winter suspension / frequency reduction to 6 other routes as well - Gatwick is not the sole route to be targetted

Difficult for Georgian to compete on the route. Wizzair are cheaper to Kutaisi by a long way and Turkish keep
flooring their prices on the route. Good little airline though, took them from Tblisi to Yerevan and back.

How can doing something once be classed as "repeatedly" ?

"ACL has imposed a financial penalty on easyJet in the amount of £10,000. (1 operation x £10,000 per operation)."

If you look at the sanctions on the ACL website there are other earlier instances of easyJet being fined for the same offence.

I heard a rumour of something major being communicated internally about the GatwickConnects baggage service. Has anyone heard anything?

Qatar Airways

Morning all. Apologies if this has been flagged up previously, but are there any plans for QR to move to the South Terminal alongside BA and CX? I would have thought that such a move would make sense from a strategic perspective, given that two of the prime Oneworld alliance members are operating from here, plus the fact that BA have their swanky first and business class lounge in south also, which QR passengers could take advantage of. Although I am unsure whether there is still space left in the South terminal, I recall Zone D in check in being freed up when TCX ceased ops?

Is Turkish airlines making some changes at Lgw?

They have recently released a flight between Saw and Stn that has the exact same times as the current Lgw service. Is the route being transferred from Lgw to Stn?

At the minute, Ayt is 2 daily, is this correct? Is the transfer of the Saw route to release slots for extra Ayt services?

Bjv seems to be going 4 a week, with 2 flights on a Wednesday.

Will they be looking at flights Adb? Dlm seems to be starting towards the end of May.

BA also seems to have added serviced to Dlm and Ayt.

Turkish

Antalya and Bodrum were both confirmed in the week.

Antalya has gone from 1 daily to 2 daily.
Bodrum also as you mentioned has gone to 4 weekly from 2. Filling the gaps that Thomas Cook left behind with the Turkish holidays.

The Stansted flight is being operated by the low cost regional airline AnadoluJet. The LGW flight is shown as the same times and the only one of both flight that are bookable. However, it could be said that all passengers could be transferred over from LGW to STN.

Pegasus have also transferred their DLM flight over from LGW to STN. STN also gained 7 weekly flights to both DLM & AYT with Freebird.

On a different note, Uganda airlines are looking at gaining slots to LGW this year with their new A330-800’s.

Not the time to be launching Wuhan! Is this to facilitate their new LHR-Beijing route?

Great news! Will be a nice addition to the LGW airline portfolio. Any ideas as to which terminal they are likely to operate from?
