Does anyone have a view that further gateways will open up including PHL or is it BA just been speculative. If further gateways are not opened I suspect BA will have to cancel these Sept PHL flights.
fyi - BA currently serves PHL with three cargo only flights with a 788.

I also see - BWI, LAS, TPA fights starting Sept which are not current US gateways.

I am booked on BA's B789 (initially A350) LON-PHL flight scheduled for 02 Sept but am almost certain it will get cancelled; there is no way PHL will open to international passenger flights in the near future.
