New Flights from London Gatwick Revealed by Air Berlin

The new flights from London Gatwick will commence in February 2011

Air Berlin, Germany's second largest airline, has revealed that it will be initiating new services from London Gatwick. Due to begin in February 2011, the flights will provide travel to Nuremburg and Hanover twice a day.

Providing flights from London since September 2002, Air Berlin has been a regular carrier within the British Isles, even hosting a number of domestic flights in 2005. Whilst some services have come and gone, the carrier confirmed that three of the five routes operating from London Stansted will remain. As flights to Nuremburg and Hanover change operating location to Gatwick, Stansted will continue servicing Dusseldorf, Paderborn/Lippstadt, and Munster/Osnabruck. And though the two lost services may affect those wanting to travel from Stansted to Germany, a new route to Austria's Salzburg will offer flights four times a week over the winter period for those wanting to access ski slopes.

Gatwick's new services follow Air Berlin's recent acceptance into the Oneworld alliance, offering passengers a greater number of competitive options when travelling. Based out of Gatwick's North Terminal, Hanover will be serviced twice a day throughout the week, with a single Saturday flight and no service on a Sunday. Meanwhile, those wanting to fly to Nuremburg will benefit from similar flights but with an additional Sunday service. And with Gatwick bosses aiming to create a 20% traffic increase by 2018, the latest changes are only the start of new flights and routes to benefit those attending the airport.
