Under review. 3 of the LGW slots have been leased to QR, not sure for how long but some days in the summer QR are operating 3 x LGW-DOH, which is a huge increase in capacity..Keeping the B767 at LGW for the summer would perhaps allow a couple of A319 to be transferred to LGW and reduce the cross fleet crew training for the summer. I doubt BA will make any announcement so just watch what happens in July.
