Section 71C
Coordinated airport and schedules facilitated airport
(1)
The Minister may, after consulting the Authority, declare an airport as —
a coordinated airport if the Minister is satisfied that the airport capacity at the airport is scarce and the establishment of a slots management scheme is necessary or expedient to allow for optimal use of airport capacity; or
a schedules facilitated airport if the Minister is of the opinion that measures under this Part are necessary to ensure that available capacity for aircraft flight operations at the airport is used efficiently.
(2)
Once such a declaration is made under subsection (1), the Minister must, within 7 days after the making of the declaration and before the date the declaration comes into force, cause to be published a notice of the making of the declaration, describing briefly the coordinated airport or schedules facilitated airport (as the case may be) in such manner as will secure adequate publicity for the declaration.
(3)
However, failure to publish a notice under subsection (2) in respect of any declaration by the Minister does not invalidate the declaration.
