Airline Flybe has announced it is in talks over a possible sell-off of its slots at Gatwick.
EasyJet is reportedly among the bidders for the 25 pairs of slots at Gatwick, which could fetch as much as £20m for Flybe.
In a statement, Flybe said: ‘Flybe notes the recent speculation in the press. The board announces that it is in discussions with a number of parties which may or may not lead to a transaction regarding the exchange for
compensation payment of the Arrival and Departure Slots at Gatwick Airport.
‘Discussions are on-going and there can be no certainty as to whether any transaction will be forthcoming.
‘A further announcement will be made as soon as appropriate.’
Flybe operates four return flights each weekday from Ronaldsway with three at the weekend.
