I have just booked a couple of seats using Avios in J on a JTR-LGW service in September and the seat map indicates that it will be one of the G-GAT aircraft. I know that anything could change between now and then but I thought BA were going to send these aircraft back to the lessor?

GLA and MAN remain onsale for the summer, both 1x daily. Let's see what happens to them. Its nice to see some unexpected routes, AMS is one, MXP is also a bit left field but maybe replaces BGY, to some extent and would work well for the Italian lakes holidays.
Those are placeholders based on previous schedules, I imagine. It could be a coincidence that 18 is the exact number of A321ceo's in the BA fleet and that those have remained stored throughout the pandemic. We will have a good idea of what will operate these routes in the coming weeks/months as they will need to transfer to the Euroflyer operating certificate. To allow for even more confusion, the HfP article is not clear if the initial services will be mainline, or EF. I guess a mix of both is also possible.

I was looking late August for ACE - and yes, a lot of flights have minimal seats loaded in higher fare brackets only, some flights are loaded but closed off for bookings - and some returns are wide open in all classes, so that to me reads like they are being updated as we speak!

I had two emails this morning with time changes for two ex-LGW trips I have booked for the summer which are currently in the Wiki as 'Remaining at LGW (Off sale)'. The flights they have moved me to are visible on the BA flight schedules page but aren't for sale on ba.com yet.
It looks like things are finally starting to happen though!

As those flights are currently loaded they are W patterns from LHR, so additional flights and an EDI rotation is possible. These flights were planned as connecting opportunities for services to Pakistan, if I remember correctly? The MAN and GLA were continually cancelled as those services were pushed back.

Yes, I wonder if we might see domestic flights added at a later stage. If they have limited aircraft, I can see that domestic flights might not appear until next winter's timetable, if they do at all.
Good to see some good cities (Berlin, Madrid) in the mix, alongside summer sun destinations. I see Genoa (GOA) is missing, including from LHR, so looks like that's gone for now. It had been at LGW for years.
