I have heard airport management describe the LHR as their 'bread and butter' so to be fair, I'm not sure anyone at the airport sees then as villains. If I'm being devil's advocate (I don't have access to detailed passenger figures), could it be argued that dropping LGW actually defended the LHR route?

Having said this - and I may have said this before - but if I were working for BA or KLM/AF, I would have been a bit irked by the airport's ecstatic crowing that 'you can now [my italics] fly to Thailand/ Mauritius/ China etc with just one stop' when Emirates came in.
