Slot sale

All this speculation is indeed about FlyBe. The Sundy Times is reporting that EasyJet could buy all of FlyBe's Gatwick slots for £20m although FlyBe is thought to also be talking to other airlines.

Would this be FlyBe out of the London market then? Has anybody heard anything about a possible move to another London airport or would they just pocket this extra £20m should they sell?

Will be intersting to see if EasyJet pick up some existing FlyBe routes eg. LGW-NCL or if they would just use the slots for more new routes across Europe... Or if there's anything new from BA/IAG or another carrier?
