Gatwick flights:
Gatwick offers a huge network of long-haul flights, which can roughly be split into holiday flights, and flights operated by airlines who are unable to get decent slots at Heathrow. This includes major US carriers such as Delta, Northwest and Continental, who are prevented from operating flights from Heathrow due to restrictions imposed by the Bermuda Treaty. This treaty also restricts the number of US cities which can be served by flights from Heathrow, even if the airline has slots there - for this reason, all flights from London to Atlanta, Houston and Dallas, including British Airways' flights, operate from Gatwick. The rapidly expanding Gulf State airlines Emirates (Dubai) and Etihad (Abu Dhabi) offer passengers a choice of flights to their respective hubs from both Heathrow and Gatwick. |
