Slots and night restrictions: why a jet cannot take off at any hour

A private jet has more freedom than a scheduled flight, but not total freedom. Slots, curfews and parking limit some times.

Published

Slots

Some airports require a slot for each take-off or landing, especially at peak times or in high season.

Night restrictions

Some airports limit or ban movements at night to reduce noise. We confirm permitted times before proposing.

Parking

At very busy airports, such as Ibiza or Mykonos in summer, the aircraft may not be able to stay: it drops the passengers then repositions.

What it means for you

Give flexible times if possible and tell us early. See our airport guides.

FAQ

Why is my time refused?

A slot, night restriction or unavailable parking may be the cause.

Can I leave late in the evening?

It depends on the airport. We confirm.

What if the aircraft cannot stay?

It repositions elsewhere, which is stated in the quote.
