Very interesting, but what's missing is LHR's premium O&D traffic vs. FRA, AMS, CDG, ZRH, etc.

In terms of dominance, the higher the O&D traffic and the higher the % of O&D traffic is an important part of the story. For example, which hub would you prefer to own - HEL or AMS @80% share or LHR @60%

In other words, BA's ability to dominate at LHR is in part based on London's huge premium O&D traffic that flows through it which gives them considerable clout in the corporate travel market.
