Wasn't there some wind on the LTN thread a good few months back where someone was convinced they had it in good knowledge that a European based legacy carrier was about to up sticks and move its ops to LTN? Could this be what they were on about, even if it is up the road in Essex?
I'd love to say I wish them all the luck, but it didn't work for SK who sold their LHR/GOT slots and shifted the route north of the Thames and it failed.
Don't even mention CY who gave up on LHR and then went bust.
Is there really any chance in AZ? Third airline lucky? I doubt it.
