Flybe to sell off slots

It is widely reported that Flybe is going to be selling off runway slots at London’s Gatwick airport to raise funds. The potential sell-off of 25 take-off and landing times, could raise up to £20m. Shares in Flybe soared more than 20% on hopes a deal will be found. The airline said it was talking to various parties reported to include easyJet.
