NEWS FLASH
British Airways newly established low cost offshoot, EuroFlyer, will introduce flights from London Gatwick to Dubrovnik in 2022. Flights will commence on April 4 and run up to once per day during the high season. It will complement British Airways’ mainline operations, which will continue to be maintained out of London Heathrow Airport to the Croatian coastal city. The British carrier used to run services between Gatwick and Dubrovnik prior to the Covid-19 pandemic but moved flights to Heathrow last year as it suspended operations out of Gatwick entirely.
Initially, this service will be operated by mainline British Airways aircraft, and then it is expected that the new subsidiary will be formally launched later in 2022, once an Air Operators Certificate is obtained for the new low cost entity. Passengers traveling out of Gatwick can expect similar service to what is offered out of Heathrow, including complimentary water and snacks, food and drinks for purchase, complimentary seat assignments 24 hours prior to departure, as well as complimentary hand baggage on most fares. The new subsidiary is described as “competing with carriers like easyJet and Wizz, whilst ensuring we stand out from the crowds through our unique British Airways service”.
Great ! What are approximatively the prices and can passengers connect via their hub in LGW or not at all ? Would be so cool if they add BEG and SKP as well :)
ReplyDeleteDon't forget lju, even tho easyjet is already flying there and is long year partner of lju airport.
DeleteIt would be great if they add BEG to increase competition.
DeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteI thought British Airways was already a low-cost, at least on European routes?
ReplyDeleteI think they are trying to create an LCC child, similar to Iberia/Vueling being part of IAG.
DeleteThey did have two low-cost subsidiaries in the early 2000s, Go Fly in Stansted and DBA in Munich. Sold both one to Easyjet, the other to Intro Aviation later become part of Air Berlin.
