How to Apply for Slot Times

  (To apply for General and Business Aviation GA/BA. and Military flights please press the submenu)

In order to obtain slot times at a fully coordinated airport the operator must apply for a slot by sending a request to the coordinator in IATA SSIM* format.

The main principles and rules for SSIM messages:

• All dates, days and times are in UTC
• Timings are on stand/off stand (not runway time)
• Dates and periods of operations must be within the season period
• Two seasons: Summer and Winter
• Summer starts on the last Sunday in March through to the Saturday of the last weekend in October
• Winter starts on the last Sunday in October through to the Saturday of the last weekend in March
• Messages must be answered within 3 business days
• Only 1 scheduled arrival and/or departure on the same day for a given flight designator
• For CPH low-cost terminal GO add to end of data line / TA.L TD.L/

Messages can be sent by email to scr@airportcoordination.com
For emails the following rules apply:

• Plain text format only
• No attachments
• Email body must begin with the message format i.e. SCR
• Your email address must be specified in the reference line of the header
