Aside, to this in the 'Observer' on Sunday there was a very positive article stating that an 'open skies' policy would be signed by the EU & USA in June. It added that BA have already plans in place for new routes in October as a result of this and BMI will abandon EU routes for longhaul utilising there slots from LHR. If this is correct, which if not now then soon, there will be a huge increase in the existing 8000 seats a day from the London airports to JFK and other destinations which can only lead to a crop of casualties.
