However, other sources said they include ceding airport slots and routes, as well as offering access to planes to enable rivals to start operating these almost immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>IAG wants to buy the 80% of Air Europa it does not already own from Spain&#8217;s Globalia. The two carriers abandoned a previous deal in 2021 after EU regulators indicated their remedies were insufficient to alleviate competition concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
