British Airways have confirmed they are commencing a London Gatwick to Nice route.
Operating from 25th March 2012, the schedule is currently booked for the following:
Outbound
DEPART LGW 07:40 13:05 19:20 ARRIVE NCE 10:40 1605 22:20
Inbound
DEPART NCE 07:05 11:25 16:50 ARRIVE LGW 08:05 12:25 17:50
Operates Daily from 25/03/2012. No booked equipment as yet – Expect a 737-400 if it’s LGW.
British Airways seems to like Nice, with services operated from Heathrow and London City airport too.
This is in many respects a screw turner of a route – both on EasyJet who operate to Nice from Gatwick, but also to British Midland Interational who operate a frequency from London Heathrow.
How this makes life worse for BMI… well, we’ll see.
