A portfolio of slots at major UK airports (incl LHR), a vast customer database with website and the possibility to feed into long-haul networks through codeshares and alliances. Makes a lot of sense and not a lot different to what could have been done when Flybe 1 bought BA Connect from BA but this time avoiding some of the more dubious decisions like ordering a huge numbers of jets.
