HAL drops domestic fees - speculation on new routes
From Head for Points
HAL will from the domestic fees per passenger by £5.
As we all (well a significant portion of our dear community) like to play armchair CEO, and given that BA are best placed to make use of these slots, which destinations do we see being added?
HAL will from the domestic fees per passenger by £5.
The plan is to increase the number of UK destinations served from Heathrow to 14 from the current eight by 2025

The winner here , I expect, will be the airline rather than the passenger

OK, I'l play: IOM, JER, NQY, CWL, LSI and CAX. The last would be a good place for a Do, since they have a café, albeit named Café Stobart.
This may be a side-show to the 3rd Runway non-event (given the government's current majority): LGW promised to subsidise regional routes - provided they were awarded a new runway instead of LHR.
