The Government says British Airways have increased their London Heathrow service to Gibraltar on certain weekends this summer. 

A statement from the Government follows below:

It is the first time ever that we will have three flights to Heathrow on the same day. This will be on three Saturdays in April, two in May, two in June, two in July, four in August, five in September and four in October. 

Minister for Business and Tourism, Hon Vijay Daryanani, said “This is welcome news for overnight tourism, our hotels and Gibraltar PLC on the whole. The airline industry is extremely challenging and competitive. I have been asking British Airways to increase flights as they have been busy on most days so I am glad to see these extra flights materialise. This is the first time ever that we have three flights to Heathrow on the same day. I hope we can continue to convince the operators to increase capacity to Gibraltar in the future.”
