That's really sad to hear. I guess KLM aren't interested in the point to point leisure market and just want longhaul feed.
I wonder if LHR's dominance in longhaul over the years has led to a lot of business travellers in the south building up FF miles/points on BA and other LHR carriers which won't be easily ditched in favour of a shorter drive to SOU. Plus also just the general ingrained habit of looking at flight options from London given the historical lack of local options.
