UEFA Champions League and F1 Grand Prix Weekend
ACL, as the UK slot coordinator, will have an effective coordination process in place to manage traffic over the weekend of the 24th-26th May. During this weekend additional air transport demand is anticipated at the London Airports due to the UEFA Champions League Weekend being held at Wembley and the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Monaco.
In partnership with the London Airports we will put in place the procedure attached to deal with the additional demand. This will be applicable to all flights including General and Business Aviation.
ACL will use DFS to match flight plans to coordinated slot times, failure to comply will result in flight plans being suspended. In addition to the information provided on the briefs you may also see a NOTAM and AIP SUP - S 018/2013 published with regards to this event.

To whom it may concern,
The UEFA Champions League Final will be hosted at Wembley Stadium in London on the 25th May, which will lead to additional demand at London Stansted, London Gatwick and London Luton Airports.
