The planes are either leased (G-GAT, and believe me they went for the cheapest of the lot) or fully depreciated (the 777s). There's very little chance for LEVEL to be reducing costs even further and I daresay that it isn't, barring Covid-19 changes, indicated for some of the routes. There is still demand for a Club product out of LGW.
That was my understanding too, LEVEL would have significant ramp-up costs and advertising to take over something of the size of BA at LGW. I don't see it as a particularly attractive option, but the idea seems to raise its head periodically.
