Description
This consultation from the UK seeks views for reform that will apply to slot allocations at 12 Level 3 slot-coordinated airports in London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Bristol. These proposals aim to make slot allocations “more efficient, dynamic, and transparent” for regular airport users, including cargo operators, passenger airlines, and general aviation. The proposal emphasizes that an improved slot-allocation program is not intended to increase an airport’s capacity. It is a “planning tool that helps ensure the operations of an airport remain within set capacity limits and environmental obligations–including night flight and noise limits.” Comments on the proposal are due by March 8, 2024.
