Gatwick publishes its August figures and gains new routes

BRITISH AIRWAYS has demonstrated its faith in Gatwick Airport with a number of schedule changes and a new route.  Cancun (Mexico), which only starts in November, is already confirmed to increase for the 2011 summer season, going up from two flights weekly to three.  Also from March next Barbados will increase from 10 to 12 flights a week, Antigua will increase from five to six services a week and the St Lucia – Port of Spain route achieves a daily service.  In Florida, Tampa is increasing from five to seven flights a week whilst Orlando goes from nine to seven.  Gatwick moved 31,579,000m passengers over the last 12 months against the 32,216,000 in the previous period, 2% less.  But in August the traffic was down only 1.3% year-on-year, an encouraging sign. www.ba.com www.gatwickairport.com
