The airport authorities have adopted slot requirements because of projected runway construction and because they need to manage volume efficiently. The new programs will manage all GA/BA slot requests for arrivals and departures. They will use the system already in place for slot reservations at other airports globally – the Online Coordination System (OCS). You can make a request up to 72 hours in advance (or up to 30 days prior if you are based at that airport).
Note: If you are an airport-based customer but want ARINCDirect to request the slots for you, please be aware that the earliest we can obtain the slots is 72 hours prior to the operation.
How to Request
We have coordinated with Calgary and Vancouver airport authorities to add their slot requirements into our flight planning engine. If your flight qualifies as needing a slot, you will automatically see a form in the flight plan filing process. As an operator, you may request a slot within a prescribed time window, or you may forgo this ARINCDirect service with the "Skip Request" option. If you elect to manage slots using your own OCS account or your FBO, you should then enter the slot number on the slot page so that it’s tied to your flight plan filing.
