GB airways announces new flights to Fez
British Airways franchise airline GB Airways is introducing a new service - a non-stop service from London Gatwick to Fez, which will operate twice a week, and a three-times daily connection to Marrakech (one from Gatwick and two from Heathrow).
Other options open to travellers include links from London to Hurghada and Sharm El Sheikh in Egypt, and extra flights to Gibraltar.
"This winter we refocus on our core routes into North Africa and winter sunspots," said the airline's Alan McIntyre.
"Flights to Fez started two years ago and this year should see more people choosing to visit the lesser-known city whilst Marrakech builds on its position as number one tourist city in Morocco."
As it is a British Airways franchise airline, GB Airways' customer service at the airport is undertaken by BA staff. The airline offers online check-in and self-service check-in.

GB Airways/BA have shilly shallied over their Fes Service for the past three years. They played now-you-see-me-now-you don't, to the infuriation of many passengers. Just after the service was introduced for the first time guess when they stopped it -- one week before The Fes Festival of World Sacred Music. Howls of dismay from Brits who had booked flights to come to the festival well in advance. Under this onslaught they reinstated the servive to cover the festival period. Then it disappeared altogwether. GB/BA should make up their minds. Perhaps in the face of competition now from Ryanair they have finally done so. ..knowing that 99% of travellers would infitely prefer Heathrow or Gatwick to traipsing to and from Luton.
