New Gatwick short haul routes for British Airways

British Airways is launching flights from Gatwick to Poznan in Poland and Antalya in Turkey next summer. There will be daily flights to Poznan from March 30, 2008 and three flights per week to Antalya from April 10, 2008.

Robert Boyle, British Airways' commercial director, said: "The demand for business and leisure travel between the UK and Poland continues to grow and Poznan joins Warsaw and Krakow on our network. All three destinations will operate from Gatwick next summer when our Warsaw flights move from Heathrow.

"Antalya is in south west Turkey and is an increasingly popular leisure destination with new tourism facilities being developed."

The airline has already announced that it will start daily flights from Gatwick to Genoa from April 4, 2008.
