Now, if they could just find enough gates to park all the aircraft, and hire enough customs agents to get the folks through the lines, life would be really good.
The only billion dollar route, yet.
I now tend to avoid Heathrow now and where I can fly direct from Manchester.
More international flights by airlines from Manchester and we do not have to fly to Heathrow for onward destinations flying BA

I’ve posted the Full OAG report if anyone is interested.. FYI titled “OAG Full Report”
CNN as a source? LOL
this article is propaganda. no mention of the gimpo/jeju route in south korea. just the sheer number of butts in the seats is staggering. 50% more than the syd/mel route alone.
IF the nyc to lon route is the highest grossing it is only because they are overpriced seats. and shifting said profits to cover other shortcomings.

I took the Gimpo-Jeju route a few times and while the number of seats might be staggering, the cost per seat isn'T. It's easy to find fares for that route as low as 20$ and at most 100$.
Agreed on the "propaganda" bit. Paid advertising masquerading as a news item. Even the photos straight from the airline's glossy brochure.
