Future long haul prospects for LGW
This is also another big if.... But would SQ be willing to take a look at LGW? I've no doubt that a large chunk of transit passengers once using CX via HKG has now gone to SQ via SIN, which will no doubt help increase demand to SIN (and onwards) further. Just as with most FCNCs, I realise that they'd prefer additional LHR slots and perhaps upgauge more rotations to A380s, but if they couldn't get hold of further slots at Heathrow, I wonder if they could make a single daily LGW-SIN rotation work on the A359? This aircraft has been fantastic in opening up new, 'thinner' long haul routes, so could Gatwick work for them?
