Aer Lingus to fly from Gatwick to mainland Europe
From April, Irish carrier Aer Lingus will serve seven new destinations from Gatwick, including three key business cities. The routes are being introduced in stages between April 6 and 20.
The airline will offer daily flights to Zurich and Vienna and twice-daily flights to Munich, using Airbus A320 aircraft. Knock, Faro, Nice and Malaga will also be served from the Gatwick base.
The new Munich, Vienna and Zurich routes will be of particular interest to business travellers, although some timings might not suit and the single daily flight to Zurich and Vienna may not be enough for more frequent travellers.
Aer Lingus has also reinstated its Heathrow-Shannon service from the start of the summer timetable on 29 March 2009. The route's cancellation was originally announced in August 2007.
