Prestige? There are two really clear reasons to try this from LHR.
1. It's actually in London, on the Tube with red buses, Oyster and now the Elizabeth line so getting to your final destination will likely become much easier.
2. Even without the expected BA codeshare, the amount of people now able to make a one stop connection from long haul to City of Derry is now greatly enhanced. It's a driver of INBOUND tourism, the same reason Inverness were so supportive of BA relaunching LHR.
The spoiler here might be Ryanair UK looking at STN-LDY once more which would kill Loganair's LHR business case at birth.
