EU Alleviation for W21 in force
01/11/21The EU’s delegated act, which amends the EU Slot Regulation to provide alleviation from the use-it-or-lose it rule for W21, is now in force.
Under this amendment, which applies to EU airports, the ability to get full alleviation for slots returned prior to season start no longer applies. Instead, a usage ratio of 50% will apply to all slots, subject to the justified non-use provisions introduced in S21 (which continue to apply unamended).

The Chair of ACL, Lesley Cowley said “I am delighted to welcome Neil to ACL. Whilst our current CEO will be much missed, we are confident that Neil’s experience, drive and values make him an ideal successor to lead ACL as we emerge from the pandemic”.

Northern Summer 2021 (NS21) WASB Slot Waiver Announcement
27/11/20The Worldwide Airport Slot Board (WASB) issued its recommendation for airport slot alleviation measures covering the Northern Summer 2021 scheduling season. The following provides some initial guidance to give clarity on its application at airports coordinated by ACL to avoid unintended consequences should airlines apply the WASB recommendation immediately.
VALIDITY
The WASB announcement is a recommendation. For a waiver to be applied, the Regulatory or competent authority needs to adopt this recommendation or issue an alternative waiver. Across all ACL airports this has not yet occurred so currently NO waiver for Northern Summer 2021 is being applied.
When the position changes, ACL will update its guidance.
CANCELLATIONS IN ADVANCE OF A WAIVER
Any cancellation made prior to a waiver being issued may impact on your ability to retain the historic slot. For example, a full season slot returned before alleviation has been granted will be returned to the slot pool and reallocated based on the waitlist at that time.
FURTHER GUIDANCE
Once ACL is aware of the detail of any formal waivers, it will review and where necessary provide further guidance. The current guidance on alleviation can be found here.
