you think?

That's the stated plan. It's why IAG is so against the third runway.

Oh I understand IAG aren't going to get anymore

The LH group already have as many slots as they can use, thanks to

Of course! What an amazing question to ask!

Would Chinese and East European airlines not want more LHR slots?

Some will go for UK domestic flights.
