Gatwick Airport touts long-haul options
As Gatwick Airport ramps up for the European summer season, the airport is highlighting dozens of options for long-haul holidays.
There are more than 30 long-haul destinations, including Bangkok, Quebec and Islamabad, with the airport’s South Terminal reopening on 27 March.
Scoot, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, is among several providing new long-haul services from Gatwick in the coming months, as it fully launched its three-weekly service to Bangkok (with onward connection to Singapore).
Norse Atlantic last week became Gatwick’s latest new airline, when it announced it would be launching long-haul routes this summer, having secured slots at the airport.
Air Transat will begin flying from Gatwick to Canadian cities Montreal and Quebec from 2 May and 11 May respectively.
The new route to Quebec will be the only direct flight operating between London and the Canadian city.
British Airways will also be adding a daily service to Islamabad to its Gatwick operations from 27 March and restarting its New York service from 28 May, while Qatar Airways will resume its daily flight to Doha from Gatwick on 5 June.
Tickets to a wide range of other exciting long-haul routes from Gatwick – operated by BA, TUI, WestJet and Air Transat – are also on sale, including Tampa, Phuket, Mauritius and Doha – alongside destinations across Canada, the Caribbean and Mexico.
From March 27, Gatwick is advising passengers to arrive early as the terminals may be busy and is also asking that all passengers check the terminal they are flying from with their airline before they come to the airport.
Stephanie Wear, VP of Aviation Development, Gatwick Airport said: “Adding the likes of Bangkok, Quebec, Montreal and Islamabad to long-haul routes from Gatwick is great news for our passengers, including tourists and businesses across the south-east.”
“The additions of Scoot and Norse Atlantic to the Gatwick family highlights the importance of Gatwick to airlines and we are equally delighted to welcome Qatar Airways back to the airport this summer too.”
