"Stolen" routes:
Wiggy
Just to mention some:JNB, some MEX nowadays done via LHR, previously direct route from Madrid.
Wrong, on both counts...
JNB...
.........I've been in BA for well over 20 years, and LHR-JNB was a BA route well before I arrived (both non-stop and in days gone by sometimes via NBO, personally flown both routes many times)......
MEX....
Wrong again. It's been a jumbo route for BA well before Iberia arrived on the scene, I've operated that one as well, lots of times, so no, BA haven't stolen that one either.
