Both very true. However as EK have found there is a decent premium market out there who want to use LGW (or STN) presumably because they are more convenient to home/destination or out of preference to avoid LHR. EK are able to do this because of their product and the nature of the operation, for others the economics sadly don’t stack up against the industry bias cited.
