GATWICK IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL

Gatwick Airport is recovering strongly from the devastating impacts of the pandemic.

Stephanie Wear, Vice President, Airline Relations at Gatwick says, “We still have some way to go before full recovery, but the vast majority of our airlines have returned.

“Several new operators have also started over the last 18 months, including JetBlue, Norse Atlantic, Bamboo Airways and BA’s new shorthaul brand – Eurofl yer.”

Some big-name, legacy airlines are also set to take off from the airport this summer. Air India started fl ying to four new destinations in March, and both Delta and Lufthansa return with regular services this month.

British Airways also continues to have a strong long-haul network from Gatwick, while a recent announcement from Norse Atlantic means the airline will serve seven destinations across the USA this summer, including the capital, Washington DC, San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Stephanie continues, “We are particularly keen to continue our longhaul growth across North America and Asia.

“Our Chinese routes have not yet returned, so we are keen to build these back. We also want to grow our US network to pre-pandemic levels and the recent announcement from Norse is a significant step forward in that respect.”
