ACL has submitted its response to the UK Government’s consultation on alleviation for the Winter 2021 IATA season.  ACL broadly supports the proposals made by Government (which follow the latest WASB proposal) but with a higher usage ratio and more carefully defined force majeure provisions for Government imposed Covid restrictions on travel.  Any decision to extend alleviation for W21 should be evidence driven and should encourage best use of capacity whilst supporting the recovery of aviation and a gradual return to normal slot rules.  Our full response to the alleviation consultation can be viewed here.
