View Full Version : BA Longhaul Ops from the Regions-viable??
Just a quickie;
Do BA see any economic viability in operating regional longhaul hubs, apart from LHR???
Or is LHR really the jewel in their crown??
Cheers

NO. They don't even see LGW as an important airport in their plans for 2001 as there is a big withdrawal of the long haul stuff from there.

Thanks much Rod, just as I thought.

They did try Gla Jfk with Tristars, 767s and 757s through the 90s. However they tried to do it on the cheap using BAR, and never marketed it properly.
I understand that Continental, who took over when BA stopped operating the route, are now doing very nicely on it.

They used to operate HKG,LAX,ISB,MCO and JFK at one stage ex MAN but now only the JFK survives.
