Plus, with LHR currently plagued with numerous capacity restrictions at present, I wonder if VS would be tempted to shift the leisure/Caribbean network back to LGW, to allow the airline to utilise it's LHR slot portfolio for the more business-orientated routes? Surely VS will need to make a decision on LGW sooner, rather than later, or else risk losing their slots that they've hung onto.
I believe that VS currently has slots leased to EasyJet and Norwegian. With BA expanding their long haul offering to the Caribbean and South America from Gatwick, along with the arrival of Norse and Jet Blue VS will have to decide what they want to do about Gatwick longer-term.
