Will the LGW and LCY service face the axe in favour of an all LHR service?
Curious for people’s thoughts as this is arguably BA’s flagship route.
My best guess is 747 will be retired , could be 787, 777, A350 or even A380 not really sure how they would manage the rest of the fleet.
Most likely yes there will be F on all the services, they would certainly reduce the number of services. May be even a A380 could be an alternative. When things open up the demand shall certainly be way down.
LGW could go, LCY shall stay.
