Airport slot allocation - is the administrative approach of the psam a more efficient approach for optimizing slot allocation
| Resumo: | The existing airport slot allocation system, burdened by rising demand and limited infrastruc ture, promotes anti-competitive practices and economic inefficiencies. This master thesis delves into proposed alternatives, notably administrative methods like the PSAM model and market based mechanisms, such as auctions and secondary trading. While the PSAM pilot project demonstrated potential at medium-sized coordinated airports in Portugal, experts in slot alloca tion claim that Germany’s current decentralized process already ensures a pareto-optimal sce nario. Consequently, they argue that the PSAM may not offer a significant industry benefit, challenging its purported efficiency enhancement. Contrastingly, research indicates that remov ing the grandfathering system and auctioning off all slots with a formal secondary market may enhance efficiency, however, it requires careful implementation to prevent the build-up of mar ket power. Secondary slot trading offers consumer benefits, like route network expansion, yet raises competitive concerns and may prompt airlines to prioritize frequency over using larger aircraft. |
