The second provision introduces more expansive alleviation measures. These measures, which were previously temporary, will be made permanent and apply in cases where airlines cannot meet their slot usage targets due to government-imposed restrictions. The alleviation provisions state that these restrictions must significantly affect the viability of air travel—for instance, through flight bans, border closures, health crises or severe restrictions on airport operations. The goal of these changes is to make the aviation sector more resilient to unexpected events.
