One benefit might be we can avoid LHR and its taxes when flying onwards from DUB (another large, western europe city).

Well, the first but is taking more time than many imagined - possibly including Willie Walsh.
The second bit seems rather imminent now, given the German bridge loan to AB to keep them operating through November.

Yes it is near the point now. But I do hope Niki is to be saved.
