Australian Senate reviews laws to prevent airlines like Qantas from hoarding airport slots.

The Australian Senate is examining proposed laws to address allegations of slot hoarding at Sydney Airport by airlines like Qantas. Markus Svensson, Qantas Domestic CEO, denies hoarding and supports increased transparency. The proposed laws would penalize airlines for canceling flights to retain slots, and allow up to 85 flights per hour during bad weather, up from 80. The federal transport department would oversee slot management and have powers to enforce information on misuse.
