Even EGLL might suffer a drop if the airlines get their way!
A group of European airlines has asked the European Commission to suspend the rules that govern how long an airline can hold its landing and take-off slots at European airports. In a letter to the Commission, the Association of European Airlines (AEA) said that current rules – which dictate that an airline must use all of its slots 80% of the time, or face losing them to other airlines the following year – could create difficulties for airlines cutting capacity during the current economic crisis.
