Case M.6447 IAG/bmi – Slot Release Procedure for Summer 2023
In March 2012, the European Commission (EC) granted regulatory clearance to the acquisition by International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG) of British Midland Limited (bmi), subject to the Commitments entered into by IAG to release London Heathrow (LHR) slot pairs on selected short-haul and long-haul city pairs.
In order to resolve the competition concerns raised by the EC, IAG was obliged to make a number of daily landing and take-off slots available at LHR.
For the IATA Summer 2023 Season, three (3) slot pairs will be available for each day of the week. In addition, there will be four (4) slots pairs available on Saturday only and two (2) slot pairs available on Sunday only (27 slot pairs in total). These slot pairs may be used for operations on LHR-Aberdeen, LHR-Edinburgh, LHR-Nice, LHR-Cairo and LHR-Riyadh only.
Please see the link for further details on the process that must be followed by airlines wishing to apply for these slots.

A Note on Diversity:
You may look at some parts of the job description and dismiss this role because you don’t think you fit what we need. Our advice is: don’t be so hasty! Studies show that some people, women in particular, are inclined to match themselves very rigidly against job descriptions. We welcome diversity in all its forms, so if you’re a qualified lawyer and like the look of this role, but aren’t sure if you’re right for it, just go ahead and apply – you may be exactly who we need!
The Department for Transport has laid a new Statutory Instrument (SI) in Parliament to provide alleviation for the Winter 2022 season. The full text is available here. This SI provides a utilisation rate of 70% with a pre-season hand-back option for up to 10% of slots held. This new SI retains and widens the justified non-use provisions. ACL will issue guidance shortly.
ACL today updated its guidance on the use of local rule 4 at London Heathrow to confirm the basis on which alleviation will be provided for cancellations made in order to comply with the capacity reductions mandated under NOTAMs issued during the Summer 2022 season.
