Proposal to amend common rules for the allocation of slots at European Union airports	81

Summary

Generated

This regulation temporarily suspends the standard 'use-it-or-lose-it' airport slot rules to prevent airlines from operating unnecessary flights just to retain their slots during the pandemic. It primarily affects airlines and airport coordinators across the EU. The legislation was adopted and entered into force in February 2021.
