About the IATA Slot Conference
The IATA Slot Conference (ISC) is a business meeting, attracting over 1,300+ delegates, with representatives of well over 300 capacity-constrained airport and 250+ individual airlines and 90+ sponsors and exhibitors that attend from all corners of the globe.
This twice-yearly meeting is one of IATA's largest events, which regularly rotates locations throughout the world. The conference has been taking place since 1948 and is a significant moment in the aviation planning diary, allowing the global airline community the opportunity to meet for quickfire optimization of their planned schedules, while looking at new opportunities for route and network growth.
The goal of the conference is for airlines to obtain the slots that will give them the best possible schedule to offer their customers at coordinated airports.
The conference operating procedures are published in the Worldwide Airport Slot Guidelines (WASG).
