It is in no ones interest to fly empty aircraft and it comes at great environmental and economic cost.

Key Points: 
  • It is in no ones interest to fly empty aircraft and it comes at great environmental and economic cost.
  • We need to stop this practice and make sure that the aviation industry can cope with the current extraordinary circumstances caused by the COVID-19 outbreak, said Transport Committee Chair Karima Delli (Greens/EFA, FR).
  • This means that there will be enough time to work and vote on this priority file.
  • Consequently, slots that are under-used by air carriers are reallocated (known as the 'use it or lose it' rule).
