BA revamps European, Caribbean network
Maria Wagland, London (10Jul03, 11:36 GMT, 262 words)
Oneworld alliance member British Airways (BA) is cutting a number of unprofitable services this winter, but overall capacity for the period will rise almost 4% as a result of new services and additional frequencies
BA is suspending flights from London Gatwick to Bremen and Brussels from 1 September, followed by its Dusseldorf service from 1 October. Flights to Zagreb, Croatia, and San Diego from London Heathrow will also be suspended before the end of October.
The carrier though is expanding its network from 26 October. It is adding a new daily service linking Gatwick with Turin, increased to twice-daily from December. The airline will also link Manchester with Copenhagen twice daily, and is switching its Bilbao service from Heathrow to Gatwick.
Additionally from April 2004, BA will launch Dubrovnik, Croatia twice daily.
BA will also boost Caribbean routes this winter; upping Antigua flights from seven to 10 flights a week and Barbados from eight to 10 weekly flights.
Airline director of marketing and commercial development Martin George says: “These announcements continue our strategy of focusing on commercially viable routes and suspending those services which don’t make a financial contribution to our business.”
The new services will increase capacity across the network by 3-4% compared to the 2002/3 winter schedule.
In preparation for the opening of the new Terminal 5 at Heathrow in 2008, BA is switching some of its flights between terminals to, “make better use of the existing facilities”. It will move its Johannesburg and Tokyo flights from Terminal 4 to Terminal 1 from 26 October to better position connecting passengers.
