I got an email this morning on from GB Airways - the BA franchise that runs the Gatwick - IBZ flight.
"We are pleased to inform you that GB Airways is to be acquired by easyJet PLC. The purchase is expected to be fully complete within the next four to six weeks. From 30th March 2008, GB Airways will be integrated into easyJet's operation and will offer easyJet's product and service. Up until 30th March 2008, for the duration of the winter season, GB Airways will continue to operate as a British Airways franchise carrier. There will be no change to the GB Airways product, route network or schedule."
So I assume that means that from next summer slEasyjet will have the monopoly on the scheduled London - IBZ flights. Then they'll do what they've done on other routes where they're the only operator - increase prices and reduce frequency.
Bugger!!
