Well at least with Garuda they have had the experience at LGW after previously serving the airport for 23 years so they may stand a good chance of staying at LGW along with Emirates."

Will GA being doing CKG-LGW-CKG non-stop this time around?

Will BA be opening up an LHR-CKG-LHR route ahead of GA to scoop up the premium business and connecting pax?

Is the route busy enough for 2 carriers, now or in the future?


Quote: "Why do Vueling fly from Heathrow rather than Gatwick ? Struggling to see a commercial reason for the extra costbase to Vueling when they are not a network carrier. Yes, I know Heathrow gets higher yields, but places like A Coruna, Florence and Mallorca seem rather more leisure centric... "

Probably because they have the slots, they're like gold dust, you know!


Quote: "I would suggest that the Vueling LHR slots will find their way to BA once the full takeover is complete. Slot sitting for the meantime and will then transfer to LGW in the fullness of time."

Is this a done deal already?
