Easyjet wants to get BA's unused slots in Heathrow

Easyjet PLC is aiming to get the slots left vacant by British Airways in Heathrow airport after the UK flag carrier decided to cut capacity amid the slump in the air travel market, an Easyjet spokeswoman said.

"Essentially, we're lobbying with the European Transport Commission to get these unused slots. Usually, airports have a 'use-it-or-lose-it' policy (on these slots) anyway," she explained.
