BA dropping MAN-LGW

BA is dropping Manchester to Gatwick in March 2013. Does anyone think or know that someone else might pick up the route ?

Does this mean that BA is giving up slots at Ringway and Gatwick?

Probably not.
Like LHR, slots at LGW are gold-dust. Whoever gets the slot will likely use it on a more lucrative route. I believe the majority of MAN-London traffic is feeder? Given most of Gatwick is ruled by point to point LCCs I doubt anyone will pick it up.

If a route’s being dropped, there’s usually a reason $$$ :p
