1.2.1.8.1.1  Application for slots shall be submitted in the writing form as formatted messages SCR and GCR (GCR message will be applied if the SCR message cannot be used). Rules for creation of messages are in the SSIM IATA manual (Standard Schedules Information Manual).

Requests for slots shall be submitted at least twenty-four (24) hours before intended arrival/departure time to/from PRAHA/Ruzyně airport. In case of technical landing, technical flight, test or training flights, military or state aircraft, medical flights, flights of “General Aviation” and flights of “Business Aviation”, it is possible to submit the request at least one (1) hour before intended time of arrival/departure to/from PRAHA/Ruzyně airport.
