British Airways introduces new low, slow (and more expensive) Gatwick to Glasgow flight

Green to go: The ATR72 aircraft of the type to be used to fly British Airways passengers from Gatwick to Glasgow (Emerald Airlines) - (Emerald Airlines)

British Airways passengers flying from London Gatwick to Glasgow from late next month will find themselves aboard a propeller plane.

From 30 March, BA’s Airbus A320 high-flying jet normally used for the link from Sussex to the Clyde will be replaced by a slow, low-altitude ATR72. British Airways is outsourcing the route to Emerald Airlines, which itself carries the Aer Lingus livery.
