Extremely low this year, close to zero. I'm sure there are peaks in demand but they have to work on at least six-monthly intervals.
It could come back in a few years, but I'd see Stuttgart as a stronger candidate - and even then, as with Cologne, the traffic is heavily skewed towards German-originating travellers and those with a preference for LH or *A without a huge amount of incremental long-haul feed. This means that BA has to play second fiddle to Eurowings and try to compete on price using its LHR cost base.
