The EK23/24 flight number pairing, which was previously the third BHX, is now the seventh LHR. Appreciate this is nothing concrete, but with ‘lower’ pairings to use, it seems odd that they went for...

Could Virgin Connect be revived? Not necessarily suggesting Virgin ownership, but a strong partnership providing connections to LHR/MAN long haul routes using E175/A220-100 sized aircraft. Win-win.
