American Airlines
is to reposition its London Gatwick operations to the airport’s North Terminal. The move, which will be completed by the end of April, will place
American in the same terminal as British Airways, simplifying connections
between the two carriers, both of which are founding members of the oneworld
Alliance.
American currently operates nonstop flights to Gatwick from Dallas/Fort Worth
and Raleigh/Durham. To London Heathrow, American has nonstop service from
Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago. Together with its codeshare
partners, American offers service from Gatwick and Heathrow to more than 30
destinations throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
American Airlines Business-class passengers and Admirals
Club members will have the use of British Airways Terraces Lounge while First-Class passengers
may use the recently refurbished British Airways First Class lounge.
Joe Phelan, American’s managing director-European Services, said "Being
co-located with our oneworld partner British Airways makes cooperation and
coordination so much easier, thus allowing us to provide a smoother experience
for our passengers." |
