Flybe sells Gatwick take-off and landing slots to Easyjet

[Smudger98]

Flybe has announced the sale of all its take-off and landing slots at London Gatwick airport to Easyjet for £20m.

The sale is part of a cost-cutting programme for the airline. About 600 workers have been made redundant and pilots have agreed a 5% pay cut.

Easyjet said it was looking at the possibility of maintaining some of Flybe's Inverness to Gatwick links.
