IAG have told the EU that competitors such as Virgin can continue to use IRL-LHR flights to put competition concers from the EU to bed. So far BA have not offered slots but they may be required to. Should know by 15 July.
The slots if required will be telling of IAG commitment!

Ryanair? Well they may well want to take them on as a loss leader, just to needle Aer Lingus after they've sold the shares!

IAG have set a deadline of 16th July. Sell by then or the deal's off!
Ryanair are in a catch 22 situation, I think. Don't sell, and they solidify the CMC case against them.
Can MOL carry the support of the shareholders in this matter? There's an awful lot of money tied up here!

IAG knows its got a good deal just may have to pay a bit more.
If goes to court it will stay there for a couple of years.
He hasn't had the support of shareholders for EI, they wan't their money back and Willy knows this, they have been unhappy at how much MOL flushed down the toilet in every failed attempt he has had to get his hands on EI. It's been a shadow on his tenure at FR any shareholder will tell you that.
Ryanair have paid shareholders many multiples of what was paid for Aer Lingus and Share Price is well above what is was when original bid went in.
Doubtful shareholders care as they require shares to go up in value and dividends.

FR v IAG
Well anything that ups the offer suits me so I hope MOL plays Willie a good
Game of poker, 255 is ok but FR paid 257 on average plus all those legal fees
So expect further developments on this one now 265 should make us all happy

Courts and lawyers have nothing to do with it. If this offer collapses so does the share price. This is probably the best way to get the money back, in the short term.
I can't see the offer being there in two or three years. The aviation climate will be different by then and we may well have a decision on RWY3 at LHR.
IAG have set up the funding for the takeover, Willie has said the price is 2:50 +5 and no more. I'm not sure I'd call his bluff when I stand to loose so much!
Not Doubtfull. "FACT" the date's in the offer doc!

IAG want EI and will have a point where its no more, doubt whether they are at that level yet.
This is only the 1st offer put to shareholders.

EU approval of IAG offer for Aer Lingus due next week - sources
Could the last one to leave the building turn off the lights!!!
By the by, if I was a pedantic bastard I would be complaining about the sloppy lazy lifted from a press release story. But also with Ryanair's 300+ aircraft you think someone from the Irish Times could get an up to date picture!!!!

Just did price check on LCY-DUB return 4-6 Sep.
Get this, on BA website it comes to £178. On Aer Lingus website it states (operated by BA CityFlyer) and for same flight it's just shy of £300!!!
Aer Lingus rip-off pricing never changes!
Then double checked what they'd be on Skyscanner and yep, rip-off price is there too.

2 - It's a code share (for now) you will never get the same pricing, they want you to fly with EI over BA.
3 - Why would you try book with EI?

My company stopped supporting AL cause their prices were ridiculously costly compared to likes of BA and CityJet. I've stopped flying AL months ago. BA cityflyer is rammed every Friday 6pm LCY-DUB.
AL have abandoned Southend after all their fanfare marketing spin they packed up tjeir tents and moved on. Is it any wonder the pax fly with competitors to AL.

As for SEN, EI did not abandon it as they have no commercial say in what happened. Can't see the type of passengers SEN attracted moving to LCY/LHR anyway.

The media reports about EU clearance for IAG Aer Lingus takeover include some concessions on slots in London, reports today in the media point to Gatwick slots potentially,which seemed surprising. I wonder if it is LGW will the slots surrendered come from BA, EI or a combination. Would be slightly concerned for BHD and NOC routes by EI if the slots come from EI . I would imagine NOC may be sensitive issue.
Surely any slots surrendered would benefit those airlines with the gravest concerns e.g. VS?
