Navpi it’s a slot sitter. Unlike Inverness which has grown and has some pretty strong p2p and hefty prices in summer, LBA doesn’t fit. Without a nightstopper it’s not a serious contender for getting to London on business and the times are just poor for too many connections.
It’s well intentioned but you can bet there those in BA demanding the slots be used elsewhere. Just look at how low some of the fares are which gives a clue on uptake. BA are only half trying here.
