The European Commission on Friday proposed to suspend the EU rule that requires air carriers to operate slots for at least 80 percent of the time to keep the entitlement in the next equivalent season through June 30.

The EU waiver lasts one month longer than the one granted by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Wednesday, though it falls short of requests by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airlines for Europe (A4E), which advocated a dispensation of 80/20 for the whole summer season.
