2021–present[]
By early 2020, British Airways operated flights to over 50 destinations from its secondary hub at London–Gatwick. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, British Airways suspended operations at Gatwick and consolidated all of its operations at London–Heathrow. In 2021, in an attempt to reduce operating costs to better compete with low cost carriers such as easyJet, British Airways announced its intention to establish a short-haul standalone business at Gatwick from 2022, similar to its BA CityFlyer operation from London City Airport, which operates under the British Airways name but exists as a separate entity.
