LH leaving LGW 2nd or 4th time?

From memory, Lufthansa's presence as a regular scheduled carrier at Gatwick goes back all the way to the early-1980s, when they'd launched a twice-daily LGW-FRA 737-200 Adv service which competed...

I agree with you on LGW slot availability and UK-Germany flights (with the exception of certain LCY flights) being traditionally low-yield and largely unprofitable in their own right. Nonetheless, LH...
