WRITTEN QUESTION E-0620/99 by Robin Teverson (ELDR) to the Commission (12 March 1999) Subject: Air links Regional airports often have difficulty in obtaining viable slots at major airports because major airports prefer larger, more lucrative aircraft coming from other major airports. This prevents the development of regional airports and increases pressure on large ones. Does the Commission have any plans to help regional airports and airlines, such as a mandatory minimum requirement on large airports to provide viable slots for regional airport/airline use? Answer given by Mr Kinnock on behalf of the Commission (19 April 1999) The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to the reply it gave to Oral Question H-159/99 by Mr Watson during question time at Parliament's March 1999 part-session(1). (1) Debates of the Parliament (March 1999).
