In response to the Department for Transport's green paper 'Aviation 2050: the future of UK aviation', the Competition and Markets Authority has said that a reform of the slot allocation mechanism may be necessary to promote competition for new capacity at Heathrow Airport.

In its December 2018 consultation (the Green Paper)1, the Department for Transport (DfT) acknowledged that the current slot allocation system is "not designed to stimulate a competitive market environment"2. It identified a range of issues affecting efficient slot allocation, including whether the timing of slot allocation is adequate to enable airlines to plan and invest, transparency of the allocation system, slot hoarding, the new entrant rule and grandfathering rights. The DfT asked for views on administrative changes to the allocation mechanism and new measures to facilitate effective competition and efficiency.
