Clickair to fly from Heathrow
Clickair plans to launch flights from London Heathrow to Seville and Valencia in the first quarter of next year, making it the first low-cost airline to fly from Heathrow to Spain.
Between January 1 and March 1, it will also start flights linking Barcelona to Malaga, Munich, Oporto, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Dublin, Basel, Prague and Berlin, a new route between Valencia and Milan-Malpensa, and a new daily frequency to Lisbon.
The Barcelona-based airline has released figures that show it managed a load factor of 70.8% across the 740 flights made during its first month of operations.
It transported 92,000 passengers in the 24 daily flights that began on October 1.
Yesterday it introduced another six flights with the arrival of
a fourth Airbus A-320 aircraft, launching two new routes from Valencia to Paris-Orly and Rome-Fiumicino.
In December 2006 it will add two additional airplanes and throughout 2007 Clickair will add an average of one new aircraft every month.
