There's 7 Caribbean destinations currently at LHR that might have a good case to be better served out of LGW but are the economies of scale of such a downsized base worthwhile? Yes probably, as HAL continue hiking charges up and up.

Thanks for that information. I also think Orlando is another possibility for Virgin at Gatwick. With Heathrow charges that route can’t be as competitive with BA as previously. BA have up to 11 flights a week to Orlando from Gatwick during the winter! That’s 4 more than pre-Covid. Virgin continue with daily at Heathrow with BA having consolidated Orlando at Gatwick until next Spring.
