easyJet targets BA business passengers with major expansion at Gatwick; New route to Glasgow and increased frequencies on six routes
easyJet, Europe’s leading low-fares airline, is targeting British Airways’ business passengers with a big expansion of routes and frequencies at London Gatwick.
easyJet is to grow by 10% at the South London airport by adding a new three-times daily service to Glasgow International Airport and increasing frequencies on a further six major European routes (Madrid, Milan, Cologne, Athens, Berlin and Amsterdam) as the airline continues to exploit its strong position and unique customer offering.
easyJet now offers its passengers more routes from Gatwick than from any other airport and will be 10% bigger at Gatwick this winter than the same period last year – having already added 3 new routes to Milan Malpensa, Marrakech and Split.
Since early 2002, easyJet has grown to account for 18% of Gatwick’s capacity, while BA’s share has declined from 47% to 38%. In the last 12 months, British Airways has withdrawn from six routes and has reduced capacity on a further six that are operated by easyJet.
This summer, easyJet will fly up to half a million passengers from Gatwick every month.
easyJet has succeeded by matching BA’s route network and providing a range of services at a much better price than BA. easyJet now offers:
Europe’s best hand baggage allowance (same volume as BA Club Class with no weight restriction)
Access to airport lounges for those that want to pay for it
Free transfer to an earlier flight if meetings finish early
Overnight check-in at Gatwick for early flights
Internet check-in (and 15 minute arrival time at the departure gate)
Speedy Boarding (£5 per sector) for those that want to board the aircraft first
The three-times daily service to Glasgow will start on 2 October and will bring the number of flights offered by easyJet between London airports and Glasgow every day to 14, with fares from £20.99 one way (£41.98 return including taxes). Seats will be on sale from today.
