Business Travel Tips

American Airlines has announced it is moving all its London service to London Heathrow Airport this year. After the Open Skies treaty will take effect the airline will close all its operations in London Gatwick.
AA, which is flying to UK with two daily flights from Dallas/Fort Worth and a single flight from Raleigh-Durham, N.C., also said it is in the process of announcing new flights to Heathrow.

Open Skies treaty between the European Union and the United States will allow airlines to fly between any U.S. city and any European city removing limits on the number of flights, aircraft and routes. That of course will remove the limits of the number of competitors on U.S.-London routes allowing all EU and U.S. carriers into any London airport, although landing and takeoff slots are limited and very costly for any carrier that wants to serve the airport.

However American spokesman Tim Smith said American has secured the landing and takeoff slots it needs to move its remaining Gatwick flight to Heathrow. (source)
