Surely BE are just considering the sale of LGW slots? What the purchaser does with those slots remains to be seen. The slots are not paired with an origin/destination airport.
Fair point. Poorly expressed on my part. My point was that the slot sale may be to more than one airline and that Blue Islands are rumoured to be a second buyer.
Also agree that a slot is a slot is a slot and that any new owner could do what they like with them, but I don't see Blue Island starting an LGW service to anywhere other than GCI - hence my view that these are interesting times for GR.
