Abstract: This case study explores the Worldwide Slot Guidelines (WSG), which represent a set of agreements made under the auspices of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) in order to allocate airport capacity. The right to use airport capacity for the purpose of takeoff and landing operations at airports is commonly called slots, with each airport having a finite amount of airport capacity. Thus, the slot allocation process is one of resource management: the WSG were developed as a global industry standard to address a key constraint in the aviation domain. The actual process of slot allocation is complex and involves organizations and stakeholders at multiple levels, all falling under the umbrella of IATA, a trade association representing 240 airlines. It designates particularly congested airports, creates roles of airport coordinators, and establishes management principles for slot allocation. Because they manage a valuable economic resource, the transparency and independence of coordinators is of particular concern: this has resulted in the institutionalization of a negotiating process to ensure accountability among key stakeholders. Through an examination of the history and key points of change in the process, the WSG case presents an example of private sector coordinated resource management.

This will, in turn, inform industry priorities in 2019 and beyond (see “Regulatory Competitiveness Benchmarking” right). IATA’s Worldwide Slots Guidelines is the global standard for the policies, principles, and procedures of airport slot allocation and management. 1 August 2019 2.1.1 standards and best practices developed by Editorial The Worldwide Slot Guidelines (WSG) is a set of IATA Member airlines along with the airport coordinator and facilitator communities. These guidelines are a comprehensive set of procedures for the. In 1993, common rules for the allocation of slots at EU airports were introduced in order to ensure that airlines have access to the busiest EU airports on the basis of principles of neutrality, transparency and non-discrimination (Based on the principles governing the system of slot allocation (IATA Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines)). If you’re a fan of slot machines, as I’m sure most of my readers are, you might want to know which games constitute the most popular slots in the world. It’s hard to answer this question definitively, as most slot machine manufacturers don’t publish details about how many of their games are extant or how much money each machine averages.
