Before you land

Permission

Opening hours
Flights 06:00–23:30 local. No take-offs or landings 23:30–06:00 except in rare exceptional cases. Private terminals close 22:00–22:30.

Strict night curfew: the airport is closed to take-offs and landings from 23:30 to 06:00 and permission for any exception is rare, so plan departures and arrivals well before 23:30. Slots are required and are requested through the handling agent; the runway layout is a complex system.
