UK "will not block" Open Skies
Several media outlets report today that the UK "will not block" Open Skies. The deal is likely to go through on Thursday, although the DFTR says that negotiations are ongoing. TB is supposed to be speaking to GB today, although there is no confirmation that O/S is on the agenda.
The UK is seeking a five month delay in increasing access to LHR (until T5 is open). It's expected that this will be granted.
Presumably new US carriers to LHR will then use T4?
Does anyone know whether there is a date for Mixed Mode operations to be introduced at LHR?
