The facts are there for everyone to see online so I don't understand why you have to state totally false information!
Or is it just suiting your agenda!
You need to check it was 5 slots with 2 op ex DUB and 1 op ex Belfast with the other 2 slots for optional use at either airport. So the winner could have ran x4 daily ex DUB and x1 daily ex Belfast had they wanted.
There is no agenda the facts are 5 slot pairs had to be given up to allow a new operator enter the market. IAG could have kept LGW with other slots if they wanted.
