BA at Heathrow
I have just returned from Munich and noted how many direct flights Lufthansa operate from there to foreign cities(long haul as well as short haul..eg JFK/SFO/NRT/HKG) and this got me thinking what is BA's policy at Manchester..a feeder for Heathrow? Surely there must be demand for more long-haul flights from there...Heathrow seems to be strangled by a lack of slots and ramp space at peak times. I suspect that a large number of shuttle passengers from Manchester are simply using Heathrow to connect to another flight. Why not offer more direct flights from Man?..this could reduce the number of slots required at LHR and cut the number of a/c circling in the stack at peak times.
