Over 50% voted for London/Gatwick, and it has since been concluded that a new hub at London/Gatwick will open in May. Initially, 2 Airbus A320s and 1 Airbus A319 will be based at Gatwick, operating flights to Glasgow, Manchester, Belfast, Amsterdam, Alicante, Palma, Malaga and Tenerife. Long-haul operations will inaugurate in July to Orlando. Belfast Hub to Close As a result of recent decline, it has been decided that our hub at Belfast International will close later this year. During the current season, a single Airbus A319 is based there, operating services to just six destinations. Domestic services from Glasgow and Manchester will be unaffected by the closure. Pilots will move to Glasgow, Manchester, or the new London/Gatwick hub. www.freshjetvirtual.com :: Follow us on Twitter :: Like us on Facebook
