Commenting on the news Sean Doyle, British Airways’ director of networks and alliances, said:
“Gatwick has always offered a great range of long-haul destinations, but adding Toronto and Las Vegas to the summer schedule will take the number of transatlantic routes to 21, making Canada, the US and the Caribbean more accessible than ever before.
“It’s particularly exciting to be adding Canada to the list of places our customers will be able to explore from Gatwick, and we look forward to welcoming our Canadian customers in to London.”
Recently launched transatlantic BA services from Gatwick include Oakland, Fort Lauderdale.
