BA to launch St Kitts service
BA to launch St Kitts service
British Airways has underlined its commitment to the Caribbean by launching flights to the idyllic Caribbean islands of St Kitts and Nevis this winter.
BA has more flights to the Caribbean than any other UK carrier. This will be further enhanced by weekly flights on Saturdays from Gatwick to St Kitts starting on January 10, 2009.
Adam Daniels, head of leisure sales, said: “The introduction of St Kitts as a British Airways route means we now operate to 11 destinations in the Caribbean.
“The region is performing extremely well for us. Our customers also tell us that they feel secure flying with an airline with an established heritage and longevity in the market in these turbulent times.”
Other route news from the airline also includes increasing flights to Dubai and Johannesburg next summer and moving Atlanta and Toulouse services from Gatwick to Heathrow Terminal 5. Heathrow flights to Dubai increase from 14 to 20 each week from March 29 next year, while flights from Heathrow to Johannesburg will increase from 14 to 19 each week from May 1, 2009.
Atlanta is the latest US destination that the airline is moving from Gatwick to Heathrow following the ‘open skies’ agreement. Daily flights head to Heathrow from March 29, 2009.
Toulouse flights will also move from Gatwick to Heathrow on March 29, 2009, with two flights each day to the Rose City.

Icelandic-owned airline bankrupt
Icelandic-owned airline bankrupt
The Icelandic-owned Danish budget airline Sterling Airways is to file for bankruptcy.
The airline blamed the Icelandic financial collapse for making its owner unable to continue funding its restructuring programme.
Sterling, owned by Iceland’s Northern Travel Holdings, operated flights between Scandinavian airports and a range of other European destinations such as Alicante, Malaga and Nice.
It has cancelled all its flights, leaving passengers stranded.
“Over a three to four week period, the whole [Icelandic] financial system melted down, and that resulted in our shareholder being unable to continue his support to the company,” Sterling said in a statement on its website.
“Negotiations have been conducted with several potential investors, but it was impossible to make ends meet.”

Families with young children could face segregation on flights
Families with young children could face segregation on flights
A US consumer survey has found that the majority of air passengers would like people who fly with young children to be seated in a separate area of the plane. The survey carried out by airfarewatchdog.com found that 85% of the 10,000 travellers polled thought that segregating those travelling with children from other passengers was a good idea, due to frustrations with hyperactive kids and crying babies. Even large portions of parents were in support of seating configurations that kept younger travellers separate from the rest of the cabin.
