Summary

Generated

This regulation temporarily suspends the standard 'use-it-or-lose-it' rule for airport slots, allowing airlines to retain slots even if underutilized due to COVID-19. It affects airlines, airport coordinators, and slot managers, providing operational certainty during the crisis. Adopted under urgent procedure, it entered into force on March 31, 2020, and is currently in force.
