Check-in Counter Allocation
To optimize airport infrastructure, check-in counters are allocated by VNO Airport Operations. We ensure necessary access for all airlines to carry out check-in operations.
We assist airlines in developing the most optimal opening hours for check-in as well as planning the queue set-up in front of the counter. The counter allocation is continuously monitored by VNO, always in cooperation with ground handlers and airlines.
Check-in counter hours and allocation are decided on the following parameters:
- The expected passenger show-up profile for check-in;
- Number of departures with simultaneous check-in (common use);
- Number of local departing passengers and number of passengers with baggage;
- The average process time – including passengers using self-service and processes at the counters (i.e. passport/visa check).
Daily counter allocation is shared by email to all handlers. The counters are allocated one day before operation and is subsequently corrected for changes in the traffic pattern. The allocated counters may only be used for check-in and/or baggage drop. Other activities are referred to the ticket or ground handler offices.
Questions and request regarding counter allocation can be directed to [email protected]
Apron Services
General principles for allocation of aircraft parking stands:
- Stand availability during arrival and/or departure, taking into account flight schedule;
- Stand parameters (length, width) and aircraft dimensions (wing span, aircraft length);
- To achieve the optimum efficiency of service in aircraft parking stands, aircrafts shall be parked on the apron in order based on the aircraft ground handling companies performing their handling procedures;
- Aircraft parking stands next to the aircraft repair/storage hangars are allocated, if possible, to the aircrafts undergoing technical maintenance.
