ACI World calls for modernization of outdated airport slot allocation system

ACI World has issued a strong appeal to aviation regulators worldwide, urging them to modernize the current system for allocating airport landing slots. The trade body contends that this existing framework is demonstrably outdated and inefficient in today’s evolving air transport landscape. Specifically, ACI highlights significant challenges related to operational flexibility and capacity utilization within congested airports like London Heathrow and Paris Charles de Gaulle. They believe reforms are necessary to improve airline access to routes and enhance overall network efficiency across global operations. This modernization effort aims to address issues of fairness and optimize resource allocation at major international hubs.
