ICAO CIR 283: 2001 [paper]

Circular 283 – Regulatory Implications of the Allocation of Flight Departure and Arrival Slots at International Airports.

This circular contains an ICAO Secretariat study which provides a detailed analysis of the growing problem of capacity constraints at airports; the regulatory framework involved and the means by which governments, airports and airlines have sought to alleviate or minimize this situation. The study also assesses current and potential mechanisms for dealing with a chronic shortage of airport capacity and suggests possible improvements and alternatives to the existing systems.
