To be honest, there are in fact very few key routes on which BA has a monopoly from lhr and even fewer from the London airport system. If you mean ba is the only airline offering a global network from lhr, then fair enough but to be honest that’s then true if local big guys in virtually any hub except the likes of ORD which happens to have two.
