Sale of slots will lead to uncertainty in an airline’s operations as well as harm established networks and future connectivity, according to global airlines’ association IATA.
A senior IATA official also said re-allocation of slots midway through a season would “probably be too late to enable airlines to publish services and for airports to resource according to expected demand”.
The International Airport Transport Association (IATA) is a grouping of around 290 carriers across the globe. Air India, Jet AirwaysNSE 0.12 % and Vistara are also members.
