EasyJet must give back 58 summer slots a week to BA at Gatwick next year, but speaking as easyJet published its full-year results on Tuesday (25 November), chief executive Kenton Jarvis said he was content with the situation.
"We have looked after a series of slots for the last three years,” he said, adding the airline had already returned some. “We still have 72 aircraft at Gatwick. We are happy with our Gatwick presence – it represents 44% market share.”
