"Legacy airlines at hub airports will have no incentives to operate flights," she added."Slot waivers distort competition by preventing low-fare airlines from expanding while legacy carriers are able to reduce capacity and raise prices." "All parties agree that the normal threshold should be replaced by a lower threshold," the draft document says." slot usage requirement threshold shall be set at 50:50."The plan would also allow incumbent carriers to sidestep the 50% rule on slots they return for temporary allocation to rivals by February - too late for schedule planning, competitors say.
