Here’s why

The chief executive of IAG, Willie Walsh has said he interested in Monarch’s slots at Gatwick Airport, Thursday, Bjorn Kjos, Air Norwegian boss said he is interested also however, “it depends on the price.”

Walsh said to Reuters: “With Monarch, I think everybody’s interested in slots at Gatwick, and that would principally be our interest as well.

“If we can get more slots at Gatwick, we’ll certainly be looking for more.”

Walsh added: “What the whole combination does is it clearly means there will be less growth, less capacity going into the market, particularly through this winter, so from an industry point of view that’s probably to be viewed as a positive.”
