Gibraltar airline changes

GIBRALTAR is again being served by air from Madrid after both British Airways and Iberia pulled out, their very short interest in the route said to be somewhat premature with the new joint administration terminal not yet compete and the tunnel under the runway essentially still in the planning stages.  Andalus Líneas Aéreas has filled that gap with limited services and last summer a three times weekly route to Barcelona.  Created in early 2009 the carrier currently operates five Embraer 145 50-seat jets from hubs at Barcelona, Madrid and Malaga.  With British Airways recently moving its operation from Gatwick to Heathrow the British Overseas Territory is now served from Heathrow T3 (BA), Gatwick North (easyJet) and Luton (Monarch) plus Monarch three times per week from Manchester. www.andalus.es
