Willie Walsh was quoted in one of the Sunday papers business section yesterday. He was saying broadly, the government is naive if they think they can attract foreign inward investment to the UK if the connection without increased connectivity to UK airports. He said China only has 2 BA destinations from London, 3 if you include Hong Kong.
This was all in the name of re-emphasising the need for another LHR Runway. Interesting comments given that BA has cut all non London international routes from UK.... Would be nice if BA looked at some of them again. Unlikely though, but nice to See Iberia opening MAN and GLA to MAD nonetheless.
