British Airways will scrap its daily London Gatwick–New York (JFK) route from October 25 and will not resume the service next spring. The route pauses for winter between October and March but BA now plans permanent removal. Passengers can still fly Gatwick–JFK with Delta and Norse Atlantic; BA customers must use London Heathrow, which will operate nine daily flights to New York. Several carriers are reducing US services amid a sharp fall in tourism to the United States; Norse Atlantic plans to cancel six transatlantic services, including Gatwick–Miami. BA will increase routes from Gatwick and Heathrow to destinations including Bangkok, Kingston and Las Vegas.
BA has announced it will scrap its popular route between London Gatwick and New York (JFK) later this year. This flight currently runs between London and NYC once a day, but from October 25 will cease to operate. BA usually pauses this route for the winter, between October and March, but has said next year it won't return in the spring as usual.
Londoners will still be able to fly to New York from Gatwick, but with Delta and Norse Atlantic instead. If they want to fly with BA they will have to go from London Heathrow, where there will be nine flights to New York every day. This move from BA comes as a number of airlines have scrapped flight routes to the US, mainly due to a significant drop in tourism to the States.
