Amended airport slot usage rules to allow airlines to return a portion of allocated capacity during 2026 without forfeiting future historic rights.

These Regulations amend the rules governing how airport slot usage is calculated for the Summer 2026 and Winter 2026/27 scheduling periods at airports in England, Wales, and Scotland.

They authorize a temporary deviation from standard 'use-it-or-lose-it' thresholds by allowing air carriers to return up to 10% of their allocated slots—in two distinct 5% phases—without those slots counting against their usage record for future entitlement.

To qualify for this alleviation, carriers must have held historic rights to the slots, provided at least 14 days' notice to passengers regarding cancellations, and confirmed they have not ceased operations at the airport.

The Regulations apply to airport slot coordinators and air carriers operating at coordinated airports.
