Airport Coordination Australia (ACA), which manages slot allocations, requires airlines to use their slots 80% of the time or risk losing them, the so-called 80/20 rule. Responding to questions from parliamentarians during a House of Representatives Standing Committee on Economics hearing in Canberra on June 30, Schneider argued the controversial slot system at the airport was "working well."īoth Virgin Australia and Qantas (QF, Sydney Kingsford Smith) have continually refuted long-running allegations they are sitting on unwanted slot pairs at Australia's busiest airport to prevent smaller rivals from taking them up.
Virgin Australia (VA, Brisbane International) is not using the slot regime at Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport to prevent smaller competitors from growing their market share there, according to the airline's chief legal officer, Susan Schneider.
