Title: Possession of expensive slots increase company value?

Does possession of expensive slots (@LHR, CDG, ORY, etc.) increase your company value?

Like in the real world case of BMI British Midlands, who's company value is predominantly based on having the second highest number of slots at LHR (after BA).

Unlike in the real world, these slots cannot be traded between airlines so their value isn't reflected in your airline value.

Not that I'm in favor of the OP's idea, but slots would be valuable in the case of a merger or acquisition so you could argue that slots can be bought.  I would think Accounting would even consider them an asset, no?
