It would not be a good route on which to experiment with their first longhaul service. Even SAA could not make this pay when they attempted it about 20 years ago with DUR as an extension on a LON-JNB.

LGW DUR will mainly attract low revenue traffic, particularly as it's likely to be a once or twice weekly operation.

Non-starter, or money loser, as far as I can see.
