Just to clarify I reckon you mean FRA slots? Anyway I agree that LH uses an agrresive policy. I´m therefore suprised that they are currently losing out on the FRA-AMS route (seems like LH is reducing capacity each summer season) to KL.euroflyer wrote: (5) Just look like LH sits on the slots on the FRA-BRU route. With the summer timetable 08 they had 3 BRU-FRA departures between 17h35 and 19h10 from Monday to Friday. All three operated by rather small aircraft (146-300 or CRJ700 at 17h35, than 737-300 or -500 at 18h05 and than an A320 at 19h10). I guess they only keep all three flights to prevent those slots could be used by somebody else. It cannot make sense otherwise (and the 18h05 flight has been cancelled quite ofte, guess why!)
In regards to VLM. I reckon they´ll use the airline for more destinations ex LCY. They now have the aircraft (although slots at LCY would be a problem)
