Section 71G
Slots management scheme
(1)
The Authority, with the approval of the Minister, must establish, by regulations in the Gazette, a slots management scheme for each coordinated airport where, in order to land or take off, during the periods for which the airport is a coordinated airport, it is necessary for an operator of an aircraft to have a slot allocated by a slots coordinator.
(2)
A slots management scheme for a coordinated airport —
may prescribe the disqualifications to be appointed as a slots coordinator for the coordinated airport;
must provide for the allocation of slots by the slots coordinator for aircraft landing at or taking off from the coordinated airport, and the conditions that may be imposed on the slots relating to aircraft flight operations at that airport;
may provide for the cancellation, suspension or variation of allocated slots by the slots coordinator, and the circumstances for doing so other than the circumstances in section 71J;
may specify the circumstances (generally or specially) under which the full range of airport infrastructure necessary for any aircraft flight operation at the airport may be used or take place regardless of slots allocation;
must provide for the establishment of a slots committee (the composition of which may include representatives of providers of air navigation services at the airport, the airport licensee of that airport and other aviation industry participants) and for the functions of the slots committee;
must provide for the reconsideration by the slots coordinator of decisions mentioned in paragraph (b), (c) or (d) made by the slots coordinator, and for appeals against any of these decisions to a slots committee;
may provide for the saving and transitional arrangements because of changes to the scheme; and
may provide for any other matters necessary or incidental to the establishment or operation of such a scheme.
