According to Mary Finnigan, the UK Co-ordinator of the Fes Festival of World Sacred Music....
Without explanation and at very short notice British Airways have cancelled their London Gatwick-Marrakesh-Fes flights between May and September 2006. This means that people from the UK wanting to come to the Fes Festival 2-10 June now have limited choice of travel options. I have enquired about this via the Chairman of GB Airways who operate the flights as BA and will post further information here if/when it arises. Meanwhile I suggest that the best way to get this decision reversed is to write to BA to protest via their web site www. ba.com
To protest at BA's decision to cancel their flights Gatwick to Fes ending on 29 May --just a few days before the start of the festival -- go to: BA AIRWAYS LINK
The route is www.ba.com then click on Contact us in buttons above masthead on Home Page. Then click on email us. The more complaints they receive the more likely people are to get their flights back.

GB Airways (and anyone flying from Gatwick to Morocco on what they think is British Airways should be advised that it's a completely different company operating under license) will pretty soon get what's coming to them anyway thanks to the low cost airlines.
When I went to Marrakech in early April, BA / GB Airways quoted me around £650 - that's about as much as it takes to fly to Australia! Granted, that was ten days before Easter but Atlas Blue was still offering £200 return for the same dates and route...
Fortunately with easyJet and Thomson Fly starting from London to Marrakech in the summer and autumn, they won't get away with pricing like that for much longer
