There's not much point in buying a load of new heavies if you don't have enough feed to fill them now is there? There's no way of getting LBA into profit without an early LBA-LHR, no way at all. I think that's clear, point to point high yield traffic would need it, the route died on it's backside when BMI switched LHR-LBA/MME to being operated from the London end. However it's not as if BA are exactly expanding the long haul fleet massively either. Has LHR-ICN been a spectacular success? Has anyone yet booked a single seat on LHR-Chengdu? Are BA returning to KUL? It's a very competitve environment out there.
