BA, Iberia and American Airlines (AA/Dallas/Fort Worth) are still facing hurdles in getting anti-trust immunity for their proposed transatlantic joint venture as part of oneworld alliance and are likely going to be asked to give up at airport slots at key airports in return for getting approval by the European Commission.

It had agreed to continue to codeshare on former BMed services operated by bmi to the Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East for three years as part of a deal that was concluded when bmi has taken over BMed, at the time a British Airways franchisee, back in 2007. 24.01.2010 - FlyLAL Charters (LLC/Vilnius) has based a B737-300 in Sharm el Sheikh on behalf of Italian charter broker Aeroservizi.

The flights have since resumed on August 1 as scheduled flights were excluded by the restriction in the first place. It has however temporarily stored its single B737-300s and several B737-500s but plans to lease another ex-British Airways (BA/London Heathrow) B737-300. 11.10.2009 - Astraeus (5W/London Gatwick) will lease two ex-Clickair A320-200s and a second ex-British Airways (BA/London Heathrow) B737-500.
