Airport Slot Coordination
To make optimum use of existing airport capacity - slot allocation is one of the instruments that can help reduce or handle capacity constraints satisfactorily.
Airport Slot Coordination is becoming an increasingly important factor for maintaining healthy commercial schedules. Professional management and a detailed knowledge of airline scheduling and slot allocation are therefore essential.
Our team has the competence and experience to professionally manage airlines of different operational types and volumes such as Charter, Scheduled Services, Executive, Low Cost, and Cargo. It makes no difference if you are an airline located in Europe or outside: the crucial factor is that we have a complete picture of what is going on at every airport, every day.
German Airport Slot Allocation Service
ASISTIM has proven experience in slot allocation and airline scheduling, and direct contact to Airport Coordination Germany (FHKD). We provide in depth expertise on demand and capacity management at all major German airports, and will provide you with the appropriate slots to successfully operate your schedule.
Worldwide Airport Slot Allocation Service
At present, 215 airports worldwide, and 45 airports in the EU, are slot coordinated. With a growing number of Level 2 categorised airports changing to Level 3, slot allocation according to Council Regulation (EEC) 95/93 of 18.1.1993 and adopted regulation 793/2004 is increasingly becoming a serious business factor.
ASISTIM offers an initial, seasonal and a 24/7 ad hoc slot allocation service worldwide according to IATA Guidelines. SCR and SMA coordination will be handled within 1 hour up to 3 days, depending on the feedback and office hours of the responsible coordinator.
Representation
ASISTIM is constantly in close contact with its customers and all relevant coordinators. We attend the biannual IATA slot conferences either with the airline representative or on their behalf. We will arrange and attend the appointments to support our customers in their discussions with the international coordinators.
We provide the same service for the EUACA (European Union Airport Coordinators Association) annual SOM (Scheduled Optimisation Meeting).
