Forgive the naive question, but could someone explain why four BA 777s en route to Gatwick would opt to divert to Schipol/Charles de Gaulle rather than an alternate UK airport such as Heathrow? Is it simply that LHR is too busy for diversions? Would have thought it would easier from a re-positioning crew/hours point of view as it's a company base...?
