Gatwick-3

[Markushillman]

Probably heard it by seeing SeanM1997 on X, but of course people fail to give credit.

So credit to SeanM1997 on X

LX432 ZRH 1715-1800 LGW (Mon-Sat)

LX433 LGW 1845-2125 ZRH (Mon-Sat)

Mixture of Swiss A220, Air Baltic A220 and Helvetic EMB190

Also to the poster above its only direct on days 1-6, I'd suggest looking a bit further rather than being rude.

The amount of work that SeanM1997 puts in I too find it difficult to understand why people fail to give him credit.

It's unreal how people read things and then say or type that they heard it. Voices in their head I think 🤔

Although I just looked at the SWISS website and it's showing flights bookable on days 1 to 7. That could well be a mistake though if SeanM has indicated the correct schedule.

The sunday flight is indirect.

If Swiss (not Edelweiss) are prepared to fly to Gatwick instead of LHR/LCY outside the ski season, then it's effectively open season for all European carriers to do a land grab on whatever slots they can get at LGW.

If they are happy with off-peak slots, maybe.

There’s way other ways to get information than Sean imo but keep thinking it was him. I got the information from this so yeah not Sean at all.

Does he just trawl booking engines all day for fun in the Alex Macheras role as an independent or does he work commercially? Genuine question.

So you actually "read" it rather than "heard" it. Just as I assumed then.

[Travel24]

I have my own twitter account where I post all the information

There's currently nothing on that link about Gatwick. And if you did why would you write has anyone heard and not just provide a link...

[Travel24]

They put It on their twitter account and yes I share all the information I get on there lol

The short-haul market has effectively said NO (with a big booming shouty voice) to paying silly prices for LHR slots. I can't think of another airline in Europe that is more premium focussed

I always thought Eurowings was more of a LGW fit once Lufthansa stepped back. It's point to point stuff with no connectivity to the rest of STAR.

On Eurowings, you can connect to other LH airlines (although given their route network it’s usually onto another Eurowings service).

Swiss to ZRH

A very nice addition to Gatwick Swiss have an excellent reputation for being one of the best European airlines; can't wait to see their A220 at LGW soon.

In keeping in the spirit following a new airline/route launch at LGW, it's time for the question on everyone's minds: Who (realistically) will be next?

Swiss are long-time Gatwick visitors on winter weekends.

Just incredible I'm amazed how there have been multiple instances where myself and others in this thread have posed the question "who's next?" and hours later, we get great news like this! Extraordinary and great news for LGW. Hopefully more will come. I bet anyone that MAG at STN aren't happy with airlines flocking to LGW while they've been trying to diversity their airline offering.

Not bookable at the moment.

Air China have swapped PVG and PEK as their LGW ops since CTU got a LHR slot. Last summer saw PVG replace PEK from June but it seems PVG and PEK will run through the summer to LGW. The third PEK-LON was started at LGW then moved to LHR, they lost the slot post COVID so one for the LHR waiting room I suspect? Takes PEK-LON back to 3 x daily with a daily PVG at LGW and TFU at LHR.
