File slot requests now for ’04 Games
Corporate aircraft operators wanting to fly to Athens, Greece, for the summer Olympic Games have once again been urged to file slot requests sooner rather

Corporate aircraft operators wanting to fly to Athens, Greece, for the summer Olympic Games have once again been urged to file slot requests sooner rather than later. The games will run from August 13 to 29, but slot restrictions will be imposed throughout Greece from July 15 until September 30.

Under rules issued by the Greek civil aviation authority in November, all general aviation operators have to apply for slots through their handling agent, who has to assign a confirmation number for each aircraft requiring a slot. Without this confirmation number, slot allocations will be rejected. According to Athens Aviation Services, initial slot assignments should be made at the end of this month, and the company has warned that slots might be much harder to obtain beyond this date.
