I believe it's a new trial of CFMU restrictions into the Galloway sector until 4th July. About 90% of the aircraft outbound from EDI are subject to slots which is causing a little bit of whingeing (not surprisingly) where the pilots are concerned.
I guess it does make for easier times for all, Galloway get exactly the flow rate they want, and EDI are not lumped with last minute MDI's when the queue has already formed at the holding point.

It'll be interesting to see if it's adopted in the long term.
