3. SLC local market for LGW (or CDG for that matter) is tiny when compared to DEN etc
Just my 2 cents, but I know DL looked long and hard at LGW and the numbers just dont work for these reasons.
In addition, SLC is not a gateway under Bermuda II. Unless a new Open Skies agreement can be agreed upon, DL will never serve LGW from SLC.
