Select the airport, where services are requested

After login the system asks you to choose the airport, where you would like to request services at. You can change this airport at any time by selecting "Select airport for request" in the menu bar on the left hand side.

The system lists all participating airports. Please confirm your selection by clicking either on <Set airport as default> (this airport will be the default airport for all following requests) or <Use airport> (this airport will be used for the next request but will not overwrite your default airport). After confirmation, the system starts a new request for the selected airport.

Request - Overview

Depending on the selected airport and offered services, the data entry is done in different steps:

• General info (mandatory): Date and time of flight, aircraft details, departure/destination airport
• Additional info (optional): Additional airport-specific information (if required by the selected airport)
• Crew/pax list (optional): List of crew members and passengers (if required by the selected airport)
• Modify person (optional): Edit single crew member or passenger
• Customs details (optional): Information for the exemption from the use of an airport of entry ("Befreiung vom Zollflugplatzzwang")
• Confirmation (mandatory): Confirm and send the request

Depending on the selected airport, date and time of flight and departure/destination airport, the system automatically determines, which steps are required.

Request - Additional info

Depending on the selected airport and requested services, the input of additional information can be required. In the following example, you can request additional services:

Confirm your data entry with a click on <Validate inputs>.

Request - Crew/pax list

Please note: In case the requested servic(es) require personal details for each crew member/passenger, you will be directly forwarded to the tab "Modify person" to start entering the required information for the first crew member.

The crew/pax list is used to display and edit all crew members and passengers of this flight. In case you have selected "Immediate return", please enter personal details for all persons that are either on the arriving or departing flight.

The title of both tables shows the number of crew members and passengers that are expected based on your input on tab "General info". Personal details are required at least for this number of persons.

Use the buttons <Add crew> and <Add passengers> to enter personal details for additional crew members or passengers. If you enter more crew members or passengers that defined on the tab "General info", these numbers will automatically be adjusted.

You can modify or delete persons with the corresponding action buttons.

The option "Save personal data for future requests" is only available for regular user accounts, not for guest users.

Request - Modify person

This tab is used to assist data entry for personal details of all persons on board. Mandatory data fields are defined by each airport individually depending on local requirements.

Crew members or passengers that have been saved in previous requests can be selected from the drop down list "Saved persons". It is also possible to copy personal details from crew members / passengers that have already been entered for this flight (i.e. husband and wife with identical postal address). You can find these persons using the drop down lists "Copy crew member" and "Copy passenger". All personal details will be copied into the data fields below, after a click on the <Show> button and can then be modified.

Please confirm data entry using the <Add to crew/pax> button.

Request - Customs details

If your flight requires a customs clearance but the selected airport is not listed as airport of entry, you can apply for an exception ("Befreiung vom Zollflugplatzzwang", form 0006). The airport will apply for this exception in your name based on the information provided on this tab.

Please fill in all required fields truthfully, false information can lead to significant penalties. Confirm data entry using the <Validate inputs> button.

Request - Confirmation

In the final step, you are required to certify on airport-specific requirements. These requirements have been defined by the selected airport.

For guest requests you have to confirm your e-mail address. Please enter the identical e-mail address that you also used on the login page. This is done to make sure that your e-mail address is correct.

Next steps

After final confirmation of the request, you will be taken to the overview of all current requests. The table shows the newly created request as well as all other current requests.

You will receive status reports and a final confirmation or rejection via e-mail and through Online Services. The airport might also get in contact with you in case of questions.

Please note: Selected services can be requested as "prior notice" (PN). In this case, no additional confirmation by the airport is required - the timely submission of the request is sufficient. This will also be highlighted in the status column.
