Heathrow losing out

This report is biased and certianly not based on fact. Heathrow used to have Manilla, Jakarta, Seoul and even KL all flown by BA. The fact that our incumbent airline pulled these routes is the problem and used the slots for other more profitable city pairs. LGW has plenty of capacity and can afford to take on these extra connections keeping London and the UK's economy competitive. This is just BAA bias. Get a 2nd runway at Gatwick and you will see London and the UK continue to flourish, we dont need to be tied to BAA and LHR for that to happen.
