Looking at the IAG press release, more details have been made about the spits of the 14 slots that IAG have to cede for the purchase of BMI.
- Seven daily slot pairs to be used between Heathrow and either Edinburgh and/or Aberdeen.
- Five daily slot pairs to be used between Heathrow and the following destinations – Nice, Cairo, Riyadh, Moscow, Edinburgh and/or Aberdeen.
- Two Heathrow daily slot pairs will be leased to Transaero for use on flights to Moscow.
- Other airlines can apply for seats on the integrated BA/bmi short and midhaul network for their transfer passengers, on normal commercial terms.
It should be easy to guess what BMI Services will be up for the chop after the Summer 2012 time table is complete from the list above.
British Airways on the other hand gains 42 slots of use.
More on the takeover later on…..
