I understand that a key criteria for which routes go to Gatwick as opposed to Heathrow is the extent of connecting traffic, actual or anticipated. Bermuda may well be at the bottom of the list when it comes to the proportion of traffic which transfers onward to Europe and beyond on BA. A similar assessment determines which BA routes are not accommodated at T5 at Heathrow, which is full, but sent over to "the annexe" in T3.
