I expect that once again they won't get them, even though there maybe slots becoming available in the post-Covid era.
If they do get them, I expect they will lose millions. They will once again take traffic away from the Gatwick route, and if they compete once again on the Southampton route, that, in turn will draw traffic from bith Gatwick and Southampton. Airport charges at Heathrow are so much more than Gatwick... and Aurigny have no interline/code-share/jv agreements and that is imperative for both LHR and LCY. Get a jv agreement with BA, and one is talking a different matter : shift all Aurigny booking onto the BA website and have through connections worldwide via Manchester and Heathrow.
Wonder what will happen with the Birmingham route. Will it go ahead, will it replace EMA or will Aurigny try and serve both ?
