Flight seat regulation means that available seats can be limited for specific travel durations, in order to obtain the highest possible occupancy on flights.
Without regulation there exists the possibility that available seats on outbound flights cannot be sold because there may not exist available seats, on the corresponding inbound flights.
Since, the majority of bookings will be made for durations up to, and including 15 days, tour operators wish to make sure that the maximum occupancy is reached for these durations.
