Debate

Airports Slot Allocation (Alleviation of Usage Requirements) Regulations 2026

Contribution

The other point is that the allocation or reallocation of slots, as I said before, is very valuable. We are losing a few airlines at the moment—most of them to the freighting business—because of financial pressures. As I said before, slots really matter. What is the basis by which reallocated slots can go to new entrants? There are people hanging on here, desperate to get slots into some of our co-ordinated airports. At what level does this plan move to one in which these slots are available for reallocation?
