Aer Lingus are expected to use two of there own A320 and lease two A320 that Meridiana Fly operated for VS deal. So there own fleet will not be reduced as a result of the deal.
BA/LHR I don't know why I entraining you but this bull about the % of slots BA have at LHR over AF/KLM at there home airports. These airports have greater capacity than LHR so the % of slots to the main carrier will be greater than that of LHR. Until LHR builds a 3rd runway BA will NOT have any more slots. The sooner you accept this then people will find the fourm readable and not in its current form.
Now there is nothing stopping BA dropping there 7 daily service from DUB (soon to be 5) and using these slots to compete with there European counterparts as you like to put it. Nothing stopping them using EI to feed the passengers but you think for some reason it would be better for BA operating and EI codesharing. Any particulor reason?
