BA drops Manchester-New York
British Airways is to suspend daily flights from Manchester to New York JFK in October.
The Boeing 767 aircraft that operates the service is to be moved to Heathrow.
But the airline is to start serving New York from Gatwick with daily flights from October 27.
The new service mean that BA will fly 62 times a week from the capital to JFK as the Gatwick flights will operate in addition to 55 weekly flights from Heathrow.
The new transatlantic flights from Gatwick will operate on a four class Boeing 777, with First, Club World, World Traveller Plus and World Traveller cabins, that will be moved from Heathrow.
BA will also start new short haul routes from Gatwick this October with daily services to Oporto and Valencia.
Second daily services from Gatwick to Alicante and Turin will also be added from the end of October.
Flights to Warsaw will move from Gatwick to Heathrow at the same time.
General manager network planning Lynne Embleton said: “The new Gatwick service will give our customers even more choice when flying between London and New York.
“Not only do we already have an extensive schedule from Heathrow to both JFK and Newark but next year we will launch business-only flights from London City.â€
