Yes it does unless there is a colossal change in customer behaviour. QR and EY are focussed on increasing A380s through LHR, the QR plan to have another go at LGW was dropped.
Even when EY did offer LGW it was on the old A343, again a world away from their stated intent of all A380 to London.
Anyone know if the North Terminal improvements are completed in terms of the new departure route? It stops about 3/4 down, before what was Gate 57. Is there a plan to enhance Gate 55 as well? It's a huge and welcome change.
