BA adds more Gatwick flights
British Airways is boosting its Florida and Caribbean network next summer with an additional Boeing 777 at Gatwick.
The extra aircraft will enable BA to operate 13 flights a week from Gatwick to Orlando, three more than currently scheduled; and one extra flight each to St Lucia, Punta Cana, Antigua and Kingston, Jamaica – bringing the total number of weekly flights to seven, three, six and four respectively.
BA director of Gatwick, Peter Simpson, said: "From next year our customers will be able to fly more often to many of our most popular destinations.
"Adding an extra Boeing 777 to our Gatwick fleet has enabled us to enhance our fantastic flying schedule by increasing flights to our top leisure destinations, giving our customers even more choice.
"With so much to choose from holidaymakers are spoilt for choice; from our 13 flights a week to Orlando to our brilliant daily service to St Lucia, everyone will get a stunning start to their holidays with British Airways."
Gatwick head of airline relations, Matt Wood, added: "Passengers will now have an even greater choice of when to travel to the most popular leisure destinations across the US and Caribbean."
