American Airlines to Move Three London Flights From Gatwick Airport to Heathrow
Posted on: Friday, 14 March 2008, 06:00 CDT
American Airlines will move three of its London flights from Gatwick Airport to Heathrow Airport, as part of the Open Skies agreement between the US and the European Union which takes effect on March 30, 2008.
The company has previously announced that it will move one of its two daily round trips between Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) and London Gatwick, as well as its daily round trip between Raleigh/Durham and Gatwick, to London Heathrow Airport on March 30, 2008.
In addition, American will be moving its second daily round trip between DFW and Gatwick to Heathrow on April 13, 2008. American recently obtained additional take-off and landing slots at Heathrow to make that move possible.
Henry Joyner, senior vice president of planning at American Airlines, said: "We want to strengthen our competitive position within the new 'Open Skies' regime, so it makes sense to focus our efforts in London at Heathrow. These changes do not impact the total number of American flights to and from London. We'll operate up to 18 daily departures to Heathrow this summer from seven US airports."
