clickair to switch Bilbao flights from London Gatwick to Heathrow
clickair will switch its Bilbao flights from London Gatwick to Heathrow, effective 28- Oct-08, coinciding with the start of its winter timetable. clickair will continue to offer daily departures to La Coruna in north west Spain, but flights to Valencia will cease.

 

Clickair’s London Gatwick route to Seville will continue, four times a week, although the Vigo route is also being terminated at the end of October and will be reviewed again at the start of the summer schedule.

CEO Alex Cruz said, “We have had a reasonably upbeat summer network-wide. In the UK Bilbao and La Coruna have performed especially well. Moving the Bilbao route to Heathrow next month will be popular with our business passengers.”
 
Meanwhile, Spain's competition commission is to decide shortly on whether to agree to the proposed merger between clickair and Vueling, determining whether or not the new company will pose a threat to domestic competition. Communications between the two airlines is set to resume in early October.
