The situation at LHR is being blamed, but I wonder is there more to it than that; after all, BD has five A332s on order. What is going to happen to these? Will it swap production slots with other airlines? Quite expensive if they have to take them and again, have to use them on routes other than those intended.
Of course, they could take delivery and return MAN-IAD to a 330 operation and return to the LHR-BOM route? Any other non-US long haul routes being looked at?
