BA acquista 51 slots BMI

[malpensante]

Sempre da a.net:

The slots in question are BMed slots and they are the price bmi has to pay to obtain BA's assent for a take-over of BMed as BA has a walk-away clause in BMed's franchise agreement just in case a competitor takes over BMed. This also explains the relatively low price for the slots.

BA, in the first place, would have loved to take over BmEd themselves, for sure, as BMed's traffic rights virtually guarantee a monopoly in many markets they serve. As BA would never have received clearance for a take-over, BMed was literally cannibalized in an concerted effort: Routes and traffic rights to bmi, slots to BA.

Ma cosa serve avere le rotte e i diritti di traffico se poi non hanno gli slot per operarle?

Saluti da Parigi!

Possono sempre partire da Gatwick.

Si ma cosi' perdono l'occasione di poter volare da LHR, inoltre BMI non mi sembra abbia voli feeder su LGW.
Tra l'altro anche a LGW sta diventando difficile trovare slot, con 32 milioni di pax e una pista sola sta scoppiando...
