and LBA-LHR. Although frequency there has been reduced. The mantra has been “there’s no money in domestic flights” for so long, it’s difficult to adjust. To believe that you have to ignore the numerous connections to AMS, DUB and CDG from almost every regional airport in the UK. EI, AF and KL mix O&D and connecting passengers to full planes. Just as BA should. To play devils advocate, rail is more often a viable alternative for travel to London, there’s no security or check-in times to worry about, but a swim in the North Sea can be chilly!
As LHR’s marketing message changes to aid the delivery of R3, it’s extraordonary how slots can be found for what we’re previously “unviable” flights, “wasted slots” and “too small, too noisy, turboprops”.
