ALLOCATION OF TAKE-OFF AND LANDING SLOTS

AÉROPORTS DE PARIS SPECIFICATIONS A slot refers to the authorisation to use airport infrastructure on a specific date and at a specific time for the purpose of take off and landing. Slots are not attached to routes but to carriers, and are allocated free of charge. A coordinator is responsible for allocating slots in line with the following rules: all slots allocated to a carrier for an aviation season are automatically reallocated to that carrier if they have been used for at least 80% of the period for which they were allocated (the “use-it or-lose-it”) rule and if the carrier requests them again for the following equivalent season. Slots that remain available (returned by carriers or newly created), are placed in a pool, with half being allocated to new entrants and half to carriers already present at the airport. For Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airports, which are described as “coordinated” airports, the co-ordinator is COHOR, the Association pour la Coordination des Horaires (Timetable Coordination Association), a non-profit governed by the Law of 1901), whose members are Air Caraïbes, Air France, Air Corsica, Corsair International, ASL Airlines France, Hop!, Transavia, Level, BAR France, Aéroports de Paris, Aéroports de Lyon and Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur and Union des aéroports français (UAF). The association is financed by a fee for the service provided for co-ordination and facilitation of time slots, which is paid for each landing in equal proportions by the airfield operator and the aircraft operator concerned. The portion incumbent upon the aircraft operator is collected by the airfield operator on behalf of the association. The rates for this fee were set on 1 April 2022 as follows: The specifications of Aéroports de Paris, approved by decree No. 2005-828 of 20 July 2005, sets the specific obligations of Aéroports de Paris with respect to its public service obligations. In particular, it defines the relationships between Aéroports de Paris and the various third parties at the Group’s airports: passengers, the public, air carriers, aircraft operators, the government and its institutions and services. For this purpose, Aéroports de Paris: ◆ assigns air carriers to terminals at a given airport and may assign air carriers between airports, after the air carrier has expressed an opinion and, in the case of a change of airport, the Minister in charge of Civil Aviation has given his/her assent; ◆ provides for access to and movement within airports, the reception of certain categories of passengers, the organisation of emergency services including a permanent medical team, the dissemination of useful information to passengers and the public, and the conducting of passenger surveys. In the event of significant delays or traffic disruptions, Aéroports de Paris must deploy the resources required to provide assistance to passengers; ◆ €2.30 per landing for the aircraft operator; ◆ €2.30 per landing for the airport operator 1 .

At Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport the number of time slots available for each aviation season is set by order of the Minister of Transport, in line with the capacity of the runway and terminal system. Overall aircraft activity is regulated by a weighted measured global indicator (WMGI), as the sound energy emitted annually at the airport should not exceed the average energy recorded over the 1999-2000-2001 period. Activity at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is also subject to limitations between 12:30 a.m. and 5:2 a.m. for arrivals and between 12:00 a.m. and 4:59 a.m. for departures, and night-time slots lost are not re allocated. At Paris-Orly Airport, the total number of time slots is capped at 250,000 per year, around 33,000 of which are reserved for regional development or public service lines. The airport is subject to a daily night-time curfew between 11:30 pm and 6:00 am. Due to the drop in traffic caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequent cancellation of their flights by air carriers, the European Union suspended, in March 2020, the application of the 80% rule, the threshold below which carriers lose their previously acquired rights for the use of time slots. This measure was extended during the 2021 and 2022 planning periods with an adjustment of the slot utilisation rates to take into account the persistent effects of the Covid-19 crisis on air traffic (64% for the hourly planning period for summer 2022 and 75% for the winter 2022/2023 period). Regulation (EEC) No. 95/93 was also amended to recognise the effects of the war in Ukraine as a valid justification for the absence of use of slots by an air carrier. ◆ manages airports so that the needs of airlines, their ground handling service providers and Government authority services, within premises and facilities that are directly necessary for their activities, may be met within a reasonable timeframe. Aéroports de Paris establishes the operating rules for facilities and airport opening hours; ◆ in addition to services to other government administrations, supplies the provider of aircraft navigation services with specific services, in line with the agreed terms and set out in appendix 1; ◆ is responsible for checking runways and taxiways, traction control and runway skid rating measurements and, under certain conditions, the regulation of aircraft movements within traffic areas; ◆ appoints qualified employees to enforce rules regarding the policing of airports and parking at airports, and also takes the appropriate measures to enhance security, whether this involves lighting or video surveillance;

1 Decision of 15 January 2018 approving the rates of the fee for services rendered in respect of schedule coordination and facilitation missions at airports.
