Which? response to airport 'slot amnesty'

1 min read
Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel, said: "An amnesty on slot rules is potentially good news for passengers as it should encourage airlines who need to cancel more flights to do so now rather than at the last minute and could ease disruption this summer by letting better-staffed airlines step in and fly routes. "For this to work, carriers must surrender their slots to other airlines if they are unable to fulfil them. This will help reduce cancellations and end the unsustainable practise of airlines flying near-empty planes to retain slots." ENDS
