The rumours about BA and LGW have been around on and off during all the years I’ve been with BA. Whether they are true this time who knows. What we do know is that some of the best performing routes at LGW are the ones that can’t be moved to LHR in the near future, and that will always influence decisions.
As for GB Airways, they have recently moved their engineering to Virgin, so further co-operation could be on the cards. I don’t think there is much love lost between GT and BA these days so I wouldn’t be too surprised if this turns out to be true. One thing they do need to consider is that their two most profitable routes, AGP and FAO, actually belong to BA so aren’t theirs to take, unless BA let them. The last rumours I heard about GT are that they have over stretched themselves and aren’t doing at all well financially.
Time will tell on both subjects.
