No real need for BA to be parking aircraft at Heathrow or Gatwick if expected to be on the ground for several days or longer
It depends how much maintenance they will need while stood down. BA will want to store aircraft where they have engineers to look after them. Pretty limited I know but most of the UK domestic destinations have BA engineers on hand. If LHR, LGW, CWL are getting crowded then options are available.
