In this episode of IBA's Aviation Conversation, Executive Advisor Owen Geach is joined by William McClintock, Manager of IBA’s Aircraft Consultancy team, to explore the rising demand for airport slot valuations, particularly at London Heathrow. They break down what slots are, why their value has been climbing, and the factors influencing their pricing, from scarcity and macroeconomic trends to future changes in allocation rules. The discussion also covers the potential impact of a third Heathrow runway, the UK Department for Transport’s proposed slot reforms, and IBA’s own methodology for valuing these critical, yet intangible, aviation assets.
