Can't speak about Perugia but
I know that BA wanted more slots for Antalya and Dalaman when the Turkish SHGM distributed the slots that were emptied after the bankruptcy of Monarch and Tui.
BA wouldn't like to lose the slots because Ryanair UK, Jet2, Wizzair and Easyjet would immediately grab those Antalya slots if BA leaves them.
