Sir, you are beyond naive.
You seriously think the solution is tents and busses from Northolt?
May I genuinely ask what your background and expertise is?
I am a marketing analyst, I work with numbers which model how people behave. What modelling has ever suggested people would use a half baked tent city at Northolt?
Also when have BA ever suggested moving all of LGW to LHR? T5 can't even fit the current LHR operation. Added to the fact that certain markets do better from LGW than LHR, my screnario of all long haul moving to LHR is possible. I gave you the numbers, they're not huge. Yet your plan is for "small planes" at Northolt.
Again how does this work?
Do KLM ERJ190s have to use Norholt?
No Skyteam lounge access for those flights?
Can Brussels Airlines use A320s to Terminal 1 but forced to send RJ100s to Northolt?
What's the minimum connecting time Northolt to T5?
How does that compare to AMS/CDG/FRA in a competitve market?
How does your plan affect BA?
Can you link to a document suggesting BA want to move short haul LGW into LHR in part or whole?
Go on, have a go at answering that Silver.
