I'm seriously concerned that BA LHR shorthaul operation will be transfered to Vueling in the future.
IAG latest presentations clearly states all the shorthaul aircraft in the 4 airlines (BA, Aer Lingus, Vueling, Iberia) will all be configured the same by 2020....e.g. 186seats on A320. Having the flex save spec cabin meaning the rear gallery will be half the current size...making it impossible to offer the current level of service due to space restrictions.
With the significant increase in flights to the UK Vueling are increasing the brand awareness across the uk..... and Alex Cruz (current head of Vueling) is taking over at BA in April.
I worry the direction the company is heading in.
