Recommendation
The Government must include a review of the slot allocation system in its strategy for the recovery of the UK aviation sector. The strategy must: a) consider alternatives to the existing slots framework to encourage new entrants, capitalising on the opportunity to shape the system following the country’s departure from the EU; and b) review how ‘ghost flights’, undertaken by legacy carriers seeking to maintain control of their slots, might be mitigated. The Government must co-ordinate with the Competition and Markets Authority and Airport Coordination Limited in carrying out the review. (Paragraph 119) Heathrow price control review
