LONDON

American Airlines service will move

All American Airlines service to London's Gatwick Airport will move to Heathrow by April 13. The carrier now runs three daily flights to Gatwick from the USA -- two from Dallas/Fort Worth and one from Raleigh-Durham, N.C. Earlier plans called for keeping one daily DFW flight at Gatwick, but the carrier secured more landing/takeoff slots at Heathrow.

The "open skies" treaty, which takes effect March 30 and lets airlines fly between the USA and Europe without government-imposed limits on where they may land, has spurred greater demand for Heathrow's gates. Continental, Delta, US Airways and Northwest will start Heathrow service from the USA later this year, joining American and United.
