AIRPORT SLOTS are always a cause of contention. ABTN has obtained
figures which show that British Airways 40% domination of Heathrow is
far less than by other carriers at major gateways. Lufthansa has
59.3% of availability at Frankfurt and Air France 57.5% at Charles de
Gaulle. KLM dominates Amsterdam with 52.9% whilst on the other side
of the Atlantic ”you aint seen nothing yet”. At Cincinnati, Delta is
by far and away the airport”s main business with 87.2% of what is
available and at Newark Continental comes in with 66.1%. Northwest
dominates Detroit, Memphis and Minneapolis with the slot situation in
the mid-70% and as you might well expect American Airlines is the
major carrier at Dallas-Fort Worth with 80% of the available slots.
