BA don’t have the right cost base, or appropriately configured aircraft, to make such a flight work. However the success of Aer Lingus UK in MAN have proven the model to IAG, and if the group saw merit in point to point trans Atlantic from EDI I’m sure that would be their chosen instrument.
Given that Aer Lingus are part of the Atlantic JV with American, BA, Finnair and Iberia, all the airlines share the revenues and bear their proportion of the costs… it doesn’t matter whether the aircraft is green or blue. Using the most appropriate equipment with the right configuration and cost base is the overriding factor.
