A second destination in the UK is being added to new airline Niceair’s network.

Spain is the most popular destination among Europeans, according to the European Travel Commission.

The carrier has had a base at LTN since 2017.

CEO Navdip Singh Judge says that if its long-haul low-cost model doesn’t work then that business model doesn’t work.

The carrier already serves London’s Gatwick and Heathrow airports.

The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority says it needs more time to assess the impact of the Atlantic Joint Business Agreement on the UK-US market.

The carrier will operate 130 weekly flights from the northeast England airport this summer.

The Hungarian ULCC’s UK subsidiary is beginning to ramp up London Gatwick operations and MD Marion Geoffroy believes the UK will be a major growth market over the coming years.

London becomes the latest European destination in the growing Vietnamese leisure airline’s network.

The revived UK regional carrier will face competition on about two-thirds of the routes being launched.

The airline plans to open a base in Northern Ireland once it relaunches this spring.

The carrier said ‘uncertainties’ in the global airline market mean it has to slow down.

The airline plans to offer six flights per day between Doha and London following the restart of Gatwick service.

The new carrier takes flight this month providing Aer Lingus-branded regional flying.

The restrictions come after the UK imposed a ban on Russian aircraft as part of sanctions introduced following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine.

The carrier is also planning to add frequencies on UK-US routes it has already relaunched.

France’s flag-carrier is opening a second route to the UK capital this summer and has received the green light to begin codesharing with Italy’s ITA on transatlantic routes to the US.

The latest agreements further enlarge the reach of the alliance’s member airlines.

The airline predicts there will be a surge in demand for service to London this summer as it adds flights to the UK capital from Boston.

Further low-cost competition is coming to the UK’s second largest airport this summer.

Subsidized routes, ADP taxes and London slots are all addressed in the new report from the Union Connectivity Review.

The threshold is higher than the EU's, meaning the UK is no longer shadowing Brussels on slot rules as it has until now post-Brexit.

International Airlines Group is increasing competition with easyJet at the UK’s second largest airport.

The operator of Aer Lingus Regional’s network will open a second base later this year and begin several UK domestic routes.

Barcelona and Thessaloniki are among the destinations joining the British Airways subsidiary’s network.
