...says Paul Gibbs, head of M and A research at J.P. Morgan in London. A spin-off is essentially giving a unit to shareholders. But because spin-offs are tax-free transactions in most European countries, they can pack benefits for shareholders and companies alike.

(Governments can help carriers recoup only what they lost in the four days they couldn't fly to the U.S.) And the bigger carriers have won something that may prove even more valuable: a one-year moratorium on the sale of the precious airport slots they've vacated since cutting back on flights, thus protecting them from opportunistic competition from the discounters...
