And remember location, location, location, a lot of the business traffic is not only going to London but the whole M4 corridor which is why so many businesses have offices near Heathrow, Slough, Reading etc. Gatwick does not have the same high density of businesses in the locality coupled with the fact that the long haul carriers do not promote connectivity in the way BA used to at LGW, although Norwegian were trying to but are now moving focus away from short haul. Hence that leaves point to point only so in general terms, lower volumes and weaker yields against LHR so it struggles somewhat.
