I'm not denying anything of the sort Shed, I am pointing out LGW are claiming they are the answer to the problem here when the key problem is hub connectivity. If you want to talk point to point growth then max out LGW and STN first where both, especially "London's third airport" have loads.
GIP's campaign of "Gatwick Obviously" that they can do what LHR cannot in the face of a business that can't make LGW work is wholly disingenuous. Please don't put words in my mouth, I know there are segments in the market, it's my day job.....
You should be aware most hub transfer traffic is leisure so quite how I am ignoring this market is not clear. You mean P2P leisure, and even that prefers LHR over LGW with good reason.
