british airways itself ‘ the landing really important. slots itself has 51% of the landing slots at airport. heathrow at heathrow airport. heathrow airport is 65% more expensive than all other major european hubs. it is an incredibly tough operating environment. every airline has been eyeing up the spots that monarch holds across the country. there is but the gatwick they have been eyeing. willie was's point has been eyeingswillie was‘s paintrbasr been right, civil aviation quite right, civil aviation authority ‘s and the government have been pushing the expansion. it has got to be transparent. we have got to how they are to understand how they are investing, where the capital is coming from. his biggest wendt so much sense —— is biggest point makes them a sense, should only one authority run heathrow or should you open up to third parties? opening up to third parties means you can increase competition. it is difficult to argue with that point. you look at every other sector in the world, it means, and decreasing costs. in lobbying the wo

so we were the first airline to introduce seatback videos and five years before british airways. and you know, kids who traveled on virgin would not let their parents travel on any other airline because they wanted seatback videos. and we had stand-up bars for upper class passengers, and i'm sure lots of romances started at our bars. and we're not the kind of airline that banged on lavatory doors either. so anyway, we were a fun airline.

international airlines group owns british airways, iberia, vueling, and aer lingus, and is hoping to benefits from a shake—up amongst european carriers and rising fares. it's boss has been upbeat in what's been a turbulent period for airlines. last year, monarch became the third european carrier to collapse, following air berlin and alitalia. it's one of the factors helping iag, along with improving fares after a spell which saw low fuel prices force airlines to flood the market with cheaper tickets. and last was particularly tough, iag suffered a major it collapse that stranded 75,000 passenger and cost iag $103 million. the airline launched a budget airline called level last year, offering fares from barcelona to several us cities for $137 one way. this transatlantic market, the most lucrative in the world, saw budget carriers boost capacity on these routes by 68% last summer. with me is daniel roeska, transport analyst at bernstein research. thank you forjoining us. let us start on what you can expect. generally the picture looks very rosy for iag. absolutely. what we're seeing is
