Well unless there's some serious financial gain for IAG I can't see it somehow. Loosing the city location, the distance between it and the loco rivals, the fact BA invested in the lounge at BHD not long ago and EI haven't announced they are leaving, a small number of potential redundancies which is due to loss of LGW. BFS needed a lounge, they are kind of behind the times without. Plenty of business users at BFS on locos and lots of leisure pax now use them, my daughter used her American express membership at STN for a flight to BFS recently to avoid the crowds, quite common occurrence I know various people who use them.
