New low-cost route from Gatwick to Bilbao

Britons wanting to enjoy the cultural attractions of the northern Spanish city of Bilbao will have a new low-cost flight option as clickair announces a new daily service from London Gatwick.

The new route will operate from March 30th, replacing a previous Iberia service, departing the UK at 09:55 GMT and returning from Bilbao at 11:35 GMT.

"We are very pleased to be adding another popular cultural destination to our network from London Gatwick," said clickair's chief executive Alex Cruz, himself a native of Bilbao.

This is the second destination from Gatwick for clickair, which also flies to Seville.

The Spanish low-cost carrier also flies daily to Valencia and La Coruna from London Heathrow and three times a week from Edinburgh to Barcelona.
