But why? SZ's assets are an AOC, a network and brand presence in the West Country, and staff based in the West Country. If BA or VS or someone wants a feeder carrier in LGW (with 50-seat turboprops? Have you seen the cost of a peak slot in LGW?
), they don't need to acquire SZ. To suggest otherwise is somewhat delusional.
