        Division 1—Applying for slots

     11 Who can apply for slots

         (1) Any operator may apply for a slot.

         (2) An operator may apply for a slot to provide a regional service only if:

            (a) the slot is part of a permanent regional service series; or

            (b) the slot is not during a peak period; or

            (c) the slot:
                (i) is to be used to meet a special need; and

                (ii) is not part of a slot series or slot group.

         (3) An operator may apply for a slot series to operate a service that will be provided using an aircraft that has fewer than 18 passenger seats only if:

            (a) the operator has historical precedence to those slots; or

            (b) the slot series is a permanent regional service series.
Note Because of subsection 10 (3), the operator will have historical precedence to the slot series for the purposes of paragraph (3) (a) only if the slot series is a permanent regional service series. An application for a slot series for which the operator has historical precedence will be allocated under section 15.
