Every private flight needs an allocated landing slot; in summer slots can only be requested and confirmed the day before, and must be kept to within about 20 minutes. Free parking is limited to 90 minutes; longer stays need extra permission, usually confirmed close to the flight and often refused in peak season, so aircraft often drop passengers and park elsewhere. Slot rules are strictest in the second half of September.
