Government reinstates airport slot rules


Government reinstates airport slot rules

Wednesday, 31 Jan, 2023 0

The ‘use it or lose it’ rule for airport slots is coming back.

Airlines at UK airports will have to maintain 80% of their take-off and landing slots to keep them.

The government said it will reinstate the pre-pandemic rule from March 26.

“Slots rules will return to normal this summer,” said Transport Secretary Mark Harper.

“Now we’re able to start a more optimistic conversation about the future.”

The 80:20 rule was relaxed as air travel plummeted during the pandemic.

Airport slots at hubs such as Heathrow are extremely valuable and highly sought after.
