Aer Lingus landing, take-off slots worth half the offer price

Accountancy firm Deloitte has told the Oireachtas Transport Committee that Aer Lingus’s landing and take-off slots are worth between €770m and €925m.

This is more than half the €1.36 billion price that International Consolidated Airlines Group — the parent company of British Airways — has offered for Aer Lingus.

The Oireachtas committee heard from a number of interested parties in relation to the potential sale of the Government’s stake in Aer Lingus.
