Re:Airbus ready to axe A380 if fails to win Emirates deal by lars_francke on Wednesday December 27, 2017 @07:23PM (#16019306)
The Economist recently ran two articles on slots.

The slots seem to cost no actual money. They are however valuable because they generate money and are scarce.

IIRC they proposed auctioning them off instead of using the current system. There was a letter in a later issue arguing against that: https://www.economist.com/news/letters/21731801-tpp-airports...
