US: PIT-LGW to resume next summer
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/031209/dctu023_1.html
US Airways plans on restarting PIT-LGW next summer. This is surprising news given all the talk about US abandoning its PIT hub and shutting down PIT-LGW indefinitely just two months ago. It looks as if US will be getting the plane by shifting the 767 used on the second PHL-LGW summer flight to PIT-LGW (PHL-LGW will go down to once daily). Perhaps US decided that the British Isles are now already well served from PHL (PHL-LGW; PHL-MAN; PHL-SNN; PHL-DUB; and new PHL-GLA) that there will be less need for a second PHL-LGW. This plus the fact that FRA/MUC will become more important European transit centers for them (with their new partnership with LH) than LGW. Interestingly, this decision was made after a meeting with the new executive (executive elect?) of Allegheny County (Pittsburgh). It has been my understanding that US Airways had room for one more long haul flight in their summer schedule. The fact that it looks like they will restart PIT-LGW by sacrificing one daily PHL-LGW means that they are likely holding out for adding at least one more long haul flight in their summer schedule. Any thoughts? PIT-MUC (now that LH has decided to start CLT-MUC, PIT will remain the only US Airways hub not connected to both of LH's major hubs)? New destinations out of PHL (Stockholm, Milan, Barcelona)? |
