BUSINESS AVIATION PERSPECTIVE ONSLOT REGULATION

10

The present slot regulation (EEC Regulation 95/93) does not take in consideration the needs of non-scheduled traffic.

It gives priority to air carriers operating scheduled services over the non-scheduled traffic.

It only considers the value for the local airport entity ignoring the positive/economic externalities for the airport’s region.

ON THE EXISTING SLOT REGULATION

11

THE RECAST OF EEC REGULATION 95/93

2011 review of regulation 95/93 published without proper consultation non-schedules services

Lacking a mechanism allowing Business Aviation operators to reap the benefits of investments they made

The proposal neither takes into consideration the specificities of Business Aviation nor considers the benefits of Business Aviation for the peripheral economies

12

WHAT DO WE NEED ?

The recognition that airports are community assets for the benefit of entire the region they serve

A definition of “non-scheduled air service” that is more suitable to Business Aviation operators

13

WHAT DO WE NEED ?

Recognition of non-discriminatory ‘grandfather rights’

Slot reservation for business aviation

Mechanism allowing for fair and flexible slot allocation
