The Monarch slots have now been returned to ACL, and will not form part of the appeal by KPMG.
This is due to MAN (MAG) making a submission to the high court to release the slots, thus they are not being contested any further.
Hopefully we should see the slots being used up soon, as said, MAG would not have made a submission to get its slots handed back if they didn't have any need to do so, it means airlines must be willing to use them.
