| Description | The scheduled time of arrival or departure available for allocation by, or as allocated by, a coordinator for an Aircraft movement on a specific date at a coordinated Airport. For scheduling purposes, the slot is the scheduled time of arrival or departure at the Terminal, not the time of landing or take-off from the Runway. An allocated slot will take account of all the coordination parameters at the Airport e.g. Runway(s), taxiways, AircraftParkingPosition, Gates, Terminal capacity (e.g. check-in and baggage delivery), environmental constraints e.g. night restrictions etc. An AirportSlot is a permission to use the Airport facilities for an arrival or a departure at a given (scheduled) time. Having/getting an AirportSlot is mandatory for using a slot coordinated airport. AirportSlots are used to prevent overloading airport resources. |
