Slot sale
Seems to strange to be true on so many levels:-
- current tie in with VS could well develop further and hence the LHR slots would be part of this
- lots of rumours regarding possible expansion and tie ins with EY and the other carriers to be based in the new T2 at LHR
- Willie was more than happy to jump into bed with FR as part of their "remedies package" and hence I would have thought AL management wouldn't take that lightly
- word on the street is that the AL/BA codeshare relationship has hit rock bottom and could well end due to much of the traffic now connecting in the Middle East and avoiding LHR like the plague
Having said that, this industry never ceases to amaze me and defy logic.
