IAG Offer Assurances Amid Aer Lingus Takeover Offer

The company behind a bid to buy Aer Lingus says it will guarantee that the airline's slots in London Heathrow Airport will NOT be sold.

I-A-G has also told the government that it will guarantee to use those slots for Irish routes for at least five years after any takeover.

It's issued a statement this afternoon after Taoiseach Enda Kenny said he would NOT consider any sale unless he had a guarantee about the future of the Irish routes to Heathrow.

Their statement also says Dublin Airport could gain more business by taking on more of the group's transatlantic traffic, but makes no reference to Shannon.
