US Arrival Slots, are EU ATCOs aware of it?
Hello...
as a handling agent for an US carrier, we often receive slot allocations for an US-bound flight from the OCC, whilst we look up the flight in the CFMU system no slot is shown.
Just a guess here, there is no slot for the CFMU airspace but in the States, there is a restriction somewhere (arrival/enroute) so the carrier's operations gives us the information on that slot.
My question: When the flight requests start-up at the European airport, has the ATCO information about the US slot or only from the CFMU system?
And, if not, what happens if the flight leaves on time but has a delayed arrival slot?
Thanks and Greets,
Trabbi
