Remedy slots
In response to earlier postings, the situation with the remedy slots is that a carrier would be required to fly the slots specifically set aside for the Aberdeen and Edinburgh routes, before then being able to use them on other short-haul routes after three years. In this particular case, unlike some slots offered under other competition remedies such as Philadelphia, the title to the slots never passes to the new operator. It's very much like a leasehold versus a freehold in property terms - these are strictly leasehold.
Announcement imminent, I hear. 4 on EDI, 3 on ABZ, all Q400.
