Press coverage normally puts Branson in the non-Dom category, such that his worldwide (non-British) income is shielded from UK tax. If Labour gets in and scraps the non-Dom principle, would Branson...

The relevance of the 49% ownership restriction is that any higher non-EU stake would result in the airline ceasing to qualify as an EU- owned carrier. This is important under most bilateral...

There's no reason why DL wouldn't get to keep all of VS's LHR slots. The comparison with BA/BMI doesn't apply - BA had to give up some slots as they ended up being the sole operator on a number of...

I think that's right, Fairdealfrank, although I believe that it's the slot trustee who has to approve any other carrier, rather than VS simply handing the slots to someone else. In practice I imagine...

Hangar 6 and The Royal Family

Under the original agreement the 'remedy' slots revert to IAG if VS fail to use them on the relevant routes for 3 full years. It is definitely not the case that EI...

That's interesting Epsomdog - do you have a source for that statement?

I assume that the competition authorities will decide where the slots end up, although the fact that EI was the only other...

I wasn't aware of the pension issue Rog. I'm sorry for all those affected. But if the funds were indeed invested in inappropriate assets then surely the pensioners (and deferred pensioners) should be...

Yes indeed rog747. My heart bleeds for the poor love. But if he's as rich as he claims to be, why does he need to fly commercial anyway? Or maybe that's all an illusion as well (cf Tom Bower).

The most revealing thing about Branson's comments is that "I love going to Australia and the idea of having to go on Qantas or British Airways is going to be very, very painful".

It just shows how...

I think the last 20 years has passed them by, judging by the fact that their publicity is still focussed on female cabin crew dressed as stripograms (I'm being polite). Half their potential market is...

Yes, I'd be the first one to accept that things will have changed since then. But the scary thing about the general theme of Skytrax reviews is that the things I used to find good about VS - namely...

Were VS ever much good?

I wonder whether people are fondly remembering VS through rose-tinted spectacles.

In the early years of VS I was a regular customer, always in Upper Class. Superficially the cabin service was...

GEB74 - I think that the unused slots could be used to free up the MAN slots after a year (if no other airline has claimed them in the meantime). The EC decision states that they can be used on any...

I'm not sure that VS have handed back the slots to BA. Presumably if VS don't intend to use the remaining slots then they go back to the slot trustee. The slot trustee should then re-offer them to...
