But I don't understand how BA are adding so many routes this year after quoting that LHR was operating at capacity last year.
BA picked up a bunch of LHR slots this summer from the failure of Little Red, no doubt those are being used for some of the new routes.
It will be interesting to see how long BA/EI continue to offer 20 flights a day between LHR and DUB now they they are both part of IAG. Some flights are only 5 minutes apart !! Some consolidation onto larger aircraft would seem to be a logical way for BA to free up LHR slots in future for other uses. Or were there conditions imposed on IAG during the EI take over process which prevent them from consolidating flights ??
