Well, I'd be pretty upset if ATI got it wrong. No official announcement yet on the FR site.
By the way I don't believe they would run a connecting hub at LCA. That would go entirely against their whole business philosophy. They may want to set a base at LCA, alongside the 17 or so bases they already have in Europe, but if you want to connect it's your problem.
