Quick look in London Gatwick, UK 14th August 2020.

Before I went to Amsterdam, The Netherlands I like to take a look what is going on in North Terminal. The airport if you seen my Easyjet flight report is not busy on airside when it comes to air traffic. Let's take a look on few airliners at London Gatwick, UK.

British Airways G-YMMD delivered in 2000 taken 14th August 2020.

First up, is the return of British Airways in North Terminal temporary while South Terminal is closed & operating small flights to the Caribbean with only Boeing 777 aircraft.  

TUI Airways G-TUIK Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner delivered in 2017 taken 14th AUgust 2020.

TUI Airways has been sending their Boeing 757's, 757's and 787 Dreamliners mostly to Europe & Turkey from Gatwick. It's too early when TUI Airways will operate long haul again. 

Ryanair unknown registration Boeing 737-800 taken 14th AUgust 2020.

Not the best shot from my phone. Ryanair originally operates from South Terminal now temporary move to North Terminal where this flight arrived from Dublin, Ireland. Ryanair's rival Aer Lingus also from South Terminal has no flights currently operating at Gatwick at the monument. 

Taken 14th August 2020.

Two aircraft in one first we have Turkish Airlines Airbus A321neo and Air Transit Airbus A321neo preparing a flight to Toronto Pearson, Canada. We'll focus on Air Transat, because it was primary sending either Airbus A330 and Airbus A310. With the departure of Airbus A310 less than a year ago we will be seeing this brand new A321neo primary use in Gatwick from Toronto while other Candian destinations is on hold due to the current pandemic. 

Taken 14th August 2020.

As you can see, lots of British Airways aircraft at South Terminal are all grounded as well as TUI Airways normally at South Terminal. I don't think Easyjet planes are grounded. 

Easyjet G-EZOA Airbus A320 delivered in 2014 taken 14th August 2020.

Finally we have Easyjet in Easyjet Holidays special brand arrived from Gibraltar. In the background you'll see three TUI Airways 2 737's and one classic 757 next to a grounded British Airways A320. Since TUI Airways is not grounded, it's still operate it's flight I've mentioned from the Dreamliner photo. 

Around that pier we should have see Emirates Airbus A380 from Dubai, UAE being the only A380 operation. Norweign Airlines with their 737's & 787 Dreamliner from South Terminal is no where to be seen. Virgin Atlantic puled out of Gatwick. Thomas Cook ceased operations a year ago months before the pandemic. It has been very difficult for the aviation industry at Gatwick & fear that British Airways could be moved to Heathrow. This year has been the worst hit for my second favorite UK airport it's still unclear about it's future as it will take years to recover.
