Slots may be administered by the operator of the airport or by a government aviation regulator such as the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.

Participation is not mandatory, but reduces congestion and non-participants are pen ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
