British Airways ditches LCC plans

British Airways has abandoned plans to launch a low cost carrier at London's second biggest airport, Gatwick, blaming pilots for its decision to scrap the new initiative. The reversal comes less than a month after British Airways unveiled plans for a short-haul subsidiary to compete with Ryanair and easyJet in an area of aviation that is recovering more quickly from the pandemic than transatlantic and other long haul routes that used to generate most of its profit. It had hoped to start operating by next summer. "We're disappointed that our plans for a new short haul subsidiary at Gatwick have not received [the British Airline Pilots' Association] support", British Airways, which is owned by International Airlines Group, said. It added, "After many years of losing money on European flights from the airport, we were clear that coming out of the pandemic, we needed a plan to make Gatwick profitable and competitive," the company added, saying it would pursue "alternative uses" for slots at Gatwick. In a statement, the British Airline Pilots' Association (BALPA) said that it was unable to reach an "acceptable" agreement with British Airways despite its "best efforts". "BALPA remains open to future negotiations with British Airways to address our members' concerns with the proposal for [London Gatwick] short haul or about any other part of the business", the group added.
