Landing slots

Landing slots

Landing slots or Airport slots are rights allocated to an entity by an airport or government agency granting the slot owner the right to schedule a landing or departure during a specific time period. Landing slots at some major airports are controlled by grandfather rights for airlines that were in place when these restrictions were added, for example: British Airways at Heathrow Airport.

The allocation of landing slots to airlines at four UK airports is carried out by Airport Co-ordination Limited (ACL). ACL is an independent non-profit organisation whose slot allocation programme is governed by British and European law and IATA Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines. ACL is funded by ten British airlines, tourism operators and airport owner/operator BAA, which pay the ACL a fee for providing scheduling information. The apparent conflict between the need to provide an independent slot allocation service and serving the interests of the funding airlines is waved away by ACL, which stated that:

There have been calls for the slot allocation process to be made a free market. (See e.g. Centre for Land Policy Studies [ [http://www.landpolicy.co.uk/pdf/Ei14.pdf] Dead link|date=March 2008] ).

Slots at the following UK airports are allocated by ACL:

*London Gatwick Airport - London
*London Heathrow Airport - London
*London Stansted Airport - London
*Manchester Airport - Manchester

United States

*LaGuardia Airport - New York City, New York
*Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport - Washington, D.C.
