Redistributing slots will benefit the general public, ie the taxpayers.
A fair deal, isn’t it?
No it isn't - and maybe you should lay off the Armagnac as it tends to cloud your vision.
LH has always had competition, both out- and inside Germany. No problem with that.
In my 35+ years flying for LH I have never been to Ibiza and only once to Palma. We never made money flying tourists.
Business people are happy to pay a decent price to have a reliable airline fly destinations that they would otherwise not reach like many East European-Ex-Soviet places and other destinations that western airlines do not fly to.
Redistributing slots to airlines like Ryanair and Easyjet will benefit the general public you comment - good joke, next joke, when it is taxpayers like me that subsidize their operations like in Hahn ( yes, that one cow village touted as Frankfurt by Ryanair ). Bad joke.
Not fair at all. Danke.
