British Airways (BA) has revealed the initial destinations for its new Gatwick subsidiary, which will start flying from March 2022.

Additionally, tickets to 35 short-haul destinations will also be on sale from today (Tuesday December 14).

The airline announced its intention to create a short-haul standalone business at Gatwick in August, similar to its operation from London City Airport, which operates under the British Airways name but exists as an entirely separate entity.

BA short-haul flights will start operating from Gatwick at the end of March 2022, with three Airbus short-haul aircraft initially, ramping ramp up to 18 aircraft by the end of May.

Sean Doyle, BA’s Chairman and CEO, said: “Today is a landmark moment for British Airways. The creation of a new British Airways short-haul organisation means Gatwick customers will benefit from access to a premium service from the UK’s flag carrier at competitive prices.

"We are looking forward to bringing a short-haul network back to Gatwick, with a fantastic flying team in place, to serve our customers from London’s second hub airport, which we feel sure will be a success.”

Tickets are on sale from the BA website and start from £39 each way.
