Being reported elsewhere that China Eastern are adding a 2nd daily LGW-PVG for the summer peak, so 1x B77W LHR-PVG and 2x B77W out of Gatters. The 2nd daily LHR A332 seems to have been winter only,...

Aer Lingus would have no shortage of takers if they needed to lease some LHR slots out for a few seasons, there's no need to drop LGW for that surely? LGW-DUB with BA was relatively weak, a B737-500...

It was the same as LHR pre COVID with a photo taken of domestic passengers and no access to domestic flying without a match. I don't believe it was ever re-activated after COVID though.

A359 at LHR was a COVID thing, it's been 2 x A380 and 2 x B77W for a while now. Was one of those four slots leased? In which case it's less of a LGW gain than a LHR loss and they'll be battling to...
