Papers already think the transatlantic routes from the u..k. are top of the list to sell, especially in respect of the companies ownership, although last fridays e.u. announcement on ownership has given all airlines more breathing time.
The E.U. ruling IAG a european airline after the 29th March, may have been a factor in IAG selling all their shareholding and withdrawing from making a bid.
I was in Norway last month and can well understand the huge issues in handling the Euro, Pound and Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner, Dollar revenue to purchase fuel, you would think vital it maintains its States link.
What you have said makes sense, especially if easyJet are aiming to pick up the bulk of the 320 order. When referencing the ‘UK transatlantic’ is the first to be sold, I presume you are effectively meaning aircraft + slots + aoc?
Do Norwegian have aircraft about to roll off the assembly line?
