Qantas and Virgin-owned company accused of 'slot hoarding' could lose rights to manage Sydney Airport flights, as tender opened

A company majority-owned by Qantas and Virgin has been in charge of deciding which carriers get access to limited and in-demand time slots at Sydney's Kingsford Smith gates. "Our reforms to the slot system at Sydney Airport are an important part of improving competition and significantly increase transparency," Ms King said.

Dr Sims said slot management was mainly an issue at Sydney's airport because it was the most congested, and flights there had flow-on effects for every other airport and airline service. "It's the peak time slots which are rare and unavailable. That affects your ability to run a system.Dr Sims did not question the integrity of Qantas and Virgin as managers of the current system, but said there should simply be "no conflicts" in how it is operated.
