Sorry to rain on anybody's parade but couple of things;
  • Remedy slots are gone.
  • Ryanair didn't find this LGW BFS routing attractive, so much so they sacrificed it, and maintained other routes that could have been reopened in time
  • Norwegian has a deal with EZY at LGW, using slots to competev would be counter productive
  • BHD unfortunately is as its always been unattractive for locos as the day is short with 2130 closure and 0630 opening. Hence instead of 4 or 5 rotations its most likely only 3. Huge inefficiency for the economics of an aircraft, particularly Loco. EI BA and BE see it as being niche and away from the big boys and suppossedly at a premium in terms of revenue per pax.
  • If Norwegian needs to use slots out of LGW for what would be as best a marginal route, with an the long haul opportunities that they have, then things are in very rough shape.
​​​​​​Despite this, with the investment that BHD is making, I'd be surprised if something wasn't in the pipeline. Hard to see what it might be though.
