perhaps adding 2x daily ex LGW ?
They could easily share with IB at Orly Ouest, not only for lounge but also ground services. The lounge is landside so no problem about BA being non-Schengen in this case.

IB have a reasonable sized operation at ORY (flying to 8 or so destinations) - can't see BA spending on their own lounge unless this is done jointly with IB.
