I’ll admit, I am very ambivalent regarding these ideas:
How I am in favour:
- If a country somehow runs out of slots in non-exclusive airports (also links to a concern of mine with This idea, which I already expressed in a comment to this thread ), then its airlines may still have some life and somewhere to progress
- It’ll allow more airlines to coexist in the same area
- Airports that otherwise have bad cargo demand will intentionally get cargo service, and not only just as a side effect of having available unused takeoff/landing weight
My concerns:
- Cargo demand is pretty scarce in most airports, specially outside of Europe, east asia or North America, So I am afraid that
will bring this scarce demand even further down
2. (more relevant towards airlines that operate flights with way fewer seats than the aircraft’s maximum), this might hurt airlines that wish to adopt a very luxury-oriented identity, or airlines that are very cargo-oriented if not cargonly
