Airports and Airlines are fined for flights departing outside of CTOT. That said I’m not sure about AFIS or AGCS fields where a takeoff clearance is not required.... are there many IFPS flights departing from AGCS fields?
As most ‘regulated’ flights in Europe are Public Transport flown by commercial pilots employed by Airlines operating under an AOC, I find it hard to believe their AOC allows the captain to insist on departing if he or she has missed their slot.
