Good news for TRN and SZG at LGW with increased frequences below:
Boost for winter ski routes
British Airways is increasing flights to two of its popular European ski destinations from Gatwick next winter.
From December 18, flights to Turin in Italy will increase to 10 a week and flights to Salzburg in Austria will increase to five a week.
The extra return service to Turin will operate on a Sunday and extra return services to Salzburg will operate on Thursday and Saturday.
Sophie McKinstrie, British Airways Gatwick, said: “These routes are already very popular with winter travellers, and skiers in particular, so we have taken the opportunity to boost our winter schedule with the extra flights.”

Not sure we will ever see BA in the Canaries. I could be wrong of course but it's true that the club loads on GB Airways to ACE/LPA/TFS were never as strong as many other routes. This, combined with the long sector length and competition from EZY and the charter carriers, I think BA would struggle to achieve much profitability. There would certainly be demand and loads would undoubtedly be healthy, but it is whether BA could sell enough club seats and if they could better utilise the aircraft elsewhere.
Certainly longer sectors won't be seen until BA LGW gets a fleet renewal (IF!)
