LTN is unbookable after 22nd June, maybe a route increase planned? I have no idea why, perhaps lack of available a/c due to prior summer commitments on other routes. |
I think those few months have not yet been loaded, we will have to wait and see.

As of yesterday September and October are now up. The couple of months gap is a bit odd but interesting that they did continue to run after the 'only winter' plans. Still, listening to the load factors they are well up there with Monarchs' figures.

It seems that Gib is about to get much anticipated Heli tourism! IS IT A BIRD? Gibraltar introduces helicopter sightseeing tours in 2019 with Norwegian firm Fonnafly - Olive Press News Spain
Apparently a big issue was the danger to rare migrating birds that transit the area (I'd be more concerned about any danger to the Heli!) but it seems to have been solved by having some sort of trained ornithologist/observer on board. Single engine over water, even if a turbine? Well, plenty of existing operators have done this type of flying for many years and I'm sure the Gib startup will have the required flotation equipment for the pax/Heli. Wishing them the very best of luck when they start in May and I might even treat myself and the wife to a whizz - any excuse to get in the air!!! |
Reported on the Gatwick thread that BA flights to Gatwick are not returning for Summer 2020
|
As per this year easyjet Luton flights stop in June next year for the summer period leaving a bit of a summer seat shortage from London. |
EasyJet to start flights to Edinburgh. Flights will run Twice weekly with the following schedule. Flights start on 31st March 2020:
Tue: EZY6933 EDI-GIB Dep. 11:00 Arr. 15:25 EZY6934 GIB-EDI Dep. 16:00 Arr. 18:30 Sat: EZY6933 EDI-GIB Dep. 11:15 Arr. 15:40 EZY6934 GIB-EDI Dep. 16:15 Arr. 18:45 Both flights will be operated by an Airbus A319 |
Why are BA scrapping GIB from LGW? Reducing demand? A poor yielding route? |
Wow after over 30 years of GB airways and BA flying from LGW they stop?
What a change and tourism then...Will BA still go from Heathrow? |
BAs LHR do go full, and with some days operating a double frequency. Just tomorrow both flights seem to be 98% LF. It might be that LGWs ‘slots’ for the flights could be used on a more lucrative routes. |

2009 was when GB airways (BA franchise) ended having sold out to EZY the year before for over £100m and LGW then quickly went orange lol

Rumor control says that there is a new operator planning to serve Gib from the UK. What does the team think? Any clues?
Still waiting for the tunnel to open....... |
Would be good to get a North East route Leeds/Newcastle Jet2 maybe

Jet2 perhaps ? The 757 and 733 is OK but Jet2 are to retire both types gradually so unless they go for A320? |
Is the road crossing still in use? Will foot passengers still be allowed to walk across the runway when the new route opens if it hasn't already.

Can BA's EMB jets cope with GIB?
Never known of any to fly in there - GIB is the pure domain of A319/A320 and (RIP) the 733/734 and 757 (throw in a Vanguard?) |
The EMB's cope with LCY which has a slightly shorter runway so why should they not cope with GIB?
