Debate

Airports Slot Allocation (Alleviation of Usage Requirements etc.) Regulations 2025

Contribution

While these provisions were initially introduced as temporary measures during the Covid-19 pandemic, making them permanent aims to enhance resilience in the aviation sector. This flexibility will ensure that airlines are not penalised for circumstances beyond their control, thereby preventing unnecessary losses or forced ghost flights—those operated without passengers simply to retain slots.
