Quite a number of people use the Gatwick service to transfer to BA long haul from Gatwick too. I wonder if another IAG airline may offer something insyead?
If it were terminal capacity capping how would swapping it out to Griffin help with that ?

Is Dublin really close to Terminal capacity. If so they have a real problem pushing significantly above the current low 30 millions throughput. and that must surely be giving IAG (EI) some pause for thought especially as the Heathrow alternate.
