Europe's second largest budget airline, easyJet, has agreed to take over GB Airways for GBP 103.5 million.
GB Airways is primarily a London Gatwick based airline which, under a franchise agreement with British Airways, flies point-to-point routes under BA's own colours, branding and logo flies to 31 destinations across Southern Europe and North Africa. |

Apparently not everyone is happy with the transfer of GB Airways' operations from BA to easyJet.
An editorial piece from Gibraltar speculates over whether certain public-service routes will be sacrificed in favour of more profitable routes following the transfer.
| Quote: | | There will be nothing, other than a moral obligation, to prevent easyJet using its newly acquired slots at Gatwick and at other destinations in Europe, North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean to fly to and from different destinations. And the airline, founded 12 years ago by the ambitious Greek entrepreneur Stelios Ioanniou, has shown scant regard for sentiment. If easyJet can cut a flight to one destination and replace it with a more lucrative one elsewhere it will do so. |
