Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether his Department is planning to reform the slot allocation process to support air cargo operators.
The Government published a consultation on 4 December on airport slot allocation system reform. The consultation includes proposals to make the system more efficient, dynamic and transparent and is designed to balance the interests of both airports and airlines, including air cargo operators. The consultation is open until 8 March 2024 and we welcome views from all stakeholders.
