BEES 2.0

<br>LONDON, June 21 (Reuters) - Britain on Tuesday said it had temporarily relaxed rules around airport slots to allow airlines to devise realistic flight schedules and avoid last minute cancellations in light of staff shortages.<br> <br>"The government will now give airlines a short window to hand back slots for the rest of the summer season that they are not confident they will be able to operate," the government said.<br> <br>"This will help passengers find alternative arrangements ahead of time, rather than face the kind of last-minute cancellations seen over the Easter and half-term holidays."
