By adopting the Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/1477 the European Commission on 14 October 2020 has extended the waiver of the „use-it-or-lose-it” rule to the upcoming Winter Season 2020/21 (W20). The Delegated Regulation has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 15 October 2020 and will enter into force on the day following that of its publication.

Fluko will therefore apply the Delegated Regulation for the entire W20 season, i.e. consider all slots allocated for the period from 25 October 2020 until 27 March 2021 as having been operated by the air carrier to which they were initially allocated (i.e. at 31 August 2020 – HBD). The extended slot waiver will continue to apply only where the relevant unused slots have been made available to the coordinator for reallocation to other air carriers (Art. 10 a (3) Slot Reg.).

Please note that the European Commission has repeatedly highlighted the importance of the agreement on conditions (see more here) for a W20 waiver reached by the industry stakeholders – airlines, airports and slot-coordinators – and expects the industry to voluntarily abide by the agreed conditions during the W20 season
(see: https://ec.europa.eu/transport/modes/air/news/2020-10-14-aviation-slot-waiver-extension_en.) Reallocation of returned slots to other air carriers after HBD will be made on an ad-hoc basis only.

Request to communicate cancellations and other slot changes immediately to the Coordinator

On 13 March 2020 the European Commission has presented a proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EEC) No 95/93 on common rules for the allocation of slots at Community airports (COM (2020) 111 final – COD 2020/0042). In order to facilitate the planning process of Airlines, Airports and other stakeholders – and in line with all Airport Coordinators organized in the European Airport Coordinators Association (EUACA) – Airport Coordination Germany (Fluko Flughafenkoordination Deutschland) as from now will act according to the published proposal of the European Commission. This is done under the assumption and reservation that the proposal will be adopted by the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union.

Any airline intending to perform stops with widebody aircraft in NUE is obliged to submit rotational information to vvl@airport-nuernberg.de simultaneously to slot coordination requests.
