BAA add Gatwick - New York flights; scrap Manchester route

18.04.08

British Airways announced today that it will boost services from London to New York JFK by starting daily flights from Gatwick on October 27, when it launches its winter schedule. However, the airline also said that it will 'suspend' (i.e. scrap) its New York flights from Manchester Airport at the same time.

The new Gatwick flights will operate on a four class Boeing 777 - that will be moved from Heathrow - with First, Club World, World Traveller Plus and World Traveller cabins. However, the airline said it will 'suspend' its daily flight from Manchester to New York JFK in October, and move the Boeing 767 aircraft that operates the service to Heathrow.

BA will also start new short haul routes from Gatwick this October, with daily services to Oporto and Valencia, plus second daily services from Gatwick to Alicante and Turin. However, flights to Warsaw will move from Gatwick back to Heathrow.
