"We are giving both leisure and business travellers more choice and flexibility when travelling from London Gatwick along with attractive fares, all on board our fleet of brand new Dreamliner aircraft.

"The UK continues to be the centre of our long-haul growth and this year will be our busiest yet at London Gatwick with increased frequency and new routes to the US launching just next month, as we continue to grow the number of great value flights to the States.”

Gatwick chief executive Stewart Wingate added: "These new services bolster Gatwick’s long haul network yet further and we now offer our passengers a choice of over 60 long-haul destinations across Asia, Africa, North and South America.”
