Abstract

Civil Aviation Industry has accelerated its growing capacity by deregulation and formation of hub concept since 1978. With proliferation of airports and accelerating competition customer expectations are differentiated and this status is increased utilization rate of civil aviation in transportation industry. With the increment of this utilization rate airport capacitities are oversupplied and this situation reveals the concept of slot. In this study, we take our evaluation of the slot concept by its use from past to present with its deeply analyzation. After that, we analyze the concept of code share and Star Alliance Agreement with developing of bilateral agreements starting between America and Netherlands under the concept of slot.

Keywords

Slot, bilateral agreements, code share, use it or lose it, grandfather rights.

EXAMINING THE CONCEPTS OF SLOT IN TERMS OF AIRPORTS AND AIRLINES SLOT KAVRAMININ HAVALİMANLARI VE HAVAYOLLARI AÇISINDAN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Sivil Havacılık Sektörü 1978 yılından itibaren serbestleşme süreci ve hub kavramının oluşması ile birlikte büyümesini hızlandırmıştır. Havayollarının çoğalması ve artan rekabet ile birlikte müşteri beklentileri farklılaşmış ve bu durum havacılığın ulaşım sektörü içerisindeki kullanım oranını arttırmıştır. Bu kullanım oranının artması ile havalimanı kapasiteleri aşıma uğramış ve bu durum slot kavramını ortaya çıkartmıştır. Bu çalışmada, havayollarının var olabilmesi ve havalimanlarının optimum şekilde kullanılabilmesi için büyük önem arz eden slot kavramının geçmişten bugüne kullanımı ile ilgili derinlemesine analiz yapılmasıyla beraber, 1992 yılında Amerika ve Hollanda arasında başlayan ikili anlaşmalar çerçevesinde gelişen Ortak Uçuş Kodu Code Share kavramı ve Star Alliance Anlaşmasını slot kavramının altında değerlendirmemize alacağız.

Keywords

Slot, ikili anlaşmalar, ortak uçuş kodu, kullan ya da kaybet, en büyük olanın hakkı.
