AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> The European Commission proposed on Wednesday new rules on airport slots for summer 2021, allowing airlines to keep those slots if they use 40 per cent of them instead of the normal 80 per cent as the travel industry recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

In March, the European Commission introduced a waiver of the normal rule to avoid airlines operating empty \u201cghost flights\u201d to retain slots.<\/p>\n

European Transport Commissioner Adina Valean said the proposal would help provide relief to airlines, ensure efficient operations of airports and avoid \u201cghost flights\u201d, while also maintaining competition in the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe proposed rules provide certainty for the summer season 2021 and ensure that the Commission can modulate further necessary slot waivers according to clear conditions to ensure this balance is maintained,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n
The Commission said traffic forecasts indicated travel levels in summer 2021 would be at least 50 per cent of 2019 levels. The 40 per cent threshold would guarantee some level of service while providing airlines with a safeguard in the use of their slots.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The draft proposal still needs approval from the European Parliament and the EU\u2019s 27 member states.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
