BA: Off to RAK (Marrakech), and bigger to LAS

09/11/2010 by Kevincm

British Airways have announced a new route operating from London Gatwick to Marrakech.

With service due to recommence next year, this is a continuation of the route previously operated by GB Airways (which EasyJet brought).

This will bring BA into conflict with EasyJet and Royal Air Maroc (who also fly from Heathrow), and with Ryanair from London Luton.  BA will be attempting to compete on the “Quality” front, with demand from it’s customers

The service will be operated 3 times a week, on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays using the Gatwick short-haul fleet as BA2892 on the way out departing at 13:05, arriving 15:35, returning as  BA2893 departing 16:20 arriving 20:55.

Lets hope the route can be made a success

Meanwhile, BA is beefing up its flights to Las Vegas for Summer 2011 season, with the direct flight from London to Las Vegas being upgraded from a 3-Class (Club/WT+/WT) 777-200 to a 4-Class (First/Club/WT+/WT) 747-400.

BA sees that the route is performing well, and is adding the capacity. And the fact that some people do actually like Las Vegas….
