Refueling Customs
December 10, 2008 – 11:05 amMissed this from last week but BA announced that passengers no its new service from London City Airport to JFK would be able to clear customs on the ground in Ireland as the plane refuels.
The competitive advantage of this route is efficiency and saving the customer time from commuting to LHR. Now by cutting out the hassle of clearing customs at JFK (which usually isn’t bad, but sometimes can be) BA should be able capture those passengers that had been weary of the refueling stop. This will be an exciting route to watch when it launches next year.
