It doesn't matter how many gates you have as far as international flights go.

It matters how much demand you have for the international seat.

If you think MSY will involve into a major international airport you are very naive. We will never be the international hub we were in the seventies in eighties and even then it was almost all Central and South America.

I would not be surprised at all to see BA drop than London service within a year.

Number of gates matter more than actual butts in seats in this case. Planes have to dock for boarding and unboarding no matter what the load factor is. Noone expects MSY to evolve into an international hub, but having only only 2 gates can be an issue. As far as the BA to LHR flight, there's absolutely no way it gets dropped in less than 2 years and it's more likely to go to daily in a year than ever getting dropped.
