This seems to be excellent news and, hopefully, a toe-in-the-water to presage the development of routes to Madrid from other UK regions. Personally, I'd like to see every BA domestic station served with a choice of BA to Heathrow and IB to Madrid for onward connections.

Every BA domestic station? That won't be difficult -- London Airways serves very few places in the UK any more. Every KLM British station? That would be a far more ambitious target
