VS

With the sudden influx of long haul resumptions, in addition to new entrants (e.g. Air Mauritius; Saudia), what exactly are VS doing with their slot portfolio at LGW, assuming that they still hold on to slots at their (now former) Gatwick base? I remember reading from the press release notes in May 2020 that the airline would be consolidating London operations at LHR, with the intention of retaining their LGW slot portfolio so that they could return as demand returned. Realistically, is a VS return to LGW ever likely to happen, especially with the airline having just joined Sky Team, or will the airline likely sell off its LGW slots and remain consolidated at LHR indefinitely?
