Could BE sub-let the slots to someone else? Or even if it came to it launch a route to Guangzhou (operated by China Southern)?
Still carrying 60 with significant numbers being codeshare passengers at pence in the pound will never pay the bills period ; That’s exactly the formula that did in bmi !
Its also the massive weakness in the HAL third runway argument. Domestic routes other than those adopted by BA will never work on a purely commercial basis.
Second no they can’t sublet them to anybody ever .
They can’t ever be used on long haul cepting Cairo or Riyadh or medium haul to Moscow.
Repeat and rewind read above post on the subject.
