There was no obligation for them to pull BHD-LGW. IAG took a wise decision to let it go for the greater good.
Your last comment is totally incorrect.
There absolutely was an obligation and it was well publicised at the time of the takeover in July 2015.
Under the terms of the purchase of Aer Lingus five daily slot pairs on LGW to BHD had to be surrendered by IAG to ensure competition in the market place.
The facts are there for everyone to see online so I don't understand why you have to state totally false information!
Or is it just suiting your agenda!
