BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Commission proposed on Wednesday new rules on airport slots for summer 2021, allowing airlines to keep those slots if they use 40% of them instead of the normal 80% as the travel industry recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.

In March, the European Commission introduced a waiver of the normal rule to avoid airlines operating empty 'ghost flights' to retain slots.

European Transport Commissioner Adina Valean said the proposal would help provide relief to airlines, ensure efficient operations of airports and avoid 'ghost flights', while also maintaining competition in the market.

'The proposed rules provide certainty for the summer season 2021 and ensure that the Commission can modulate further necessary slot waivers according to clear conditions to ensure this balance is maintained,' she said.

The Commission said traffic forecasts indicated travel levels in summer 2021 would be at least 50% of 2019 levels. The 40% threshold would guarantee some level of service while providing airlines with a safeguard in the use of their slots.

Airlines are locked in a battle over landing slots for this summer.

Before the pandemic, airlines had to use their takeoff and landing slots for 80 per cent of each flying season or forfeit them under the so-called 'use it or lose it rule'.

Most carriers, including British Airways, easyJet and Norwegian, want the rule changed from April so airlines only have to use their pairs of slots for 50 per cent of the summer flying season, when passenger demand is expected to remain low.

In proposals submitted to the Department for Transport, they have also asked to be able to give up any slots they cannot use this summer with the guarantee they can have the slots back in summer 2022 as demand picks up.

They say this will help them recover from the pandemic and protect jobs and global connections.

But Ryanair and Wizz Air accuse rivals of 'slot-blocking' and say low-fare airlines are unable to expand as legacy carriers reduce capacity and raise prices.

Wizz Air is lobbying the Government to make airlines use their short-haul slots full-time, with 'some alleviation' for long-haul.
