British Airways to cut Gatwick flights

Bloomberg

British Airways is planning to cut the number of flights it operates from London Gatwickas the coronavirus pandemic continues to slam the travel industry, the Mail reported.
The carrier aims to shift business to Heathrow — Britain’s largest airport — where it will counter falling demand for
business travel by boosting premium leisure flights to long-haul holiday destinations, the newspaper said.
The move forms part of a wide-ranging new strategy under Sean Doyle, according to the report, who replaced Alex Cruz as CEO of British Airways this month just weeks after Luis Gallego became head of the carrier’s parent company, IAG SA.
The pandemic is forcing airlines into radical rethinks of their operations. British Airways operated a dual hub system before the virus crisis, with leisure-oriented flights from Gatwick
complementing a business-focused operation at its larger Heathrow base.
