US Arrival Slots, are EU ATCOs aware of it?

[Trabbi]

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,

Europe does not get info on US slots, as far as I am aware.

Coming the other way, anything entering the EUR Region handled by the CFMU, which does not originate in the CFMU area, is dealt with in a different (and much more logical) manner. They are slot exempt (as out of area originiating traffic) and their 'slot' is allocated to them dynamically, with traffic coming from the CFMU region regulated as appropriate to work around the out of area aircraft.

Thanks for the answer!

So I guess it will be the same if we send the plane on time from a European departure point and as soon as it approaches US airspace it will be implemented into the flow.

Thanks,
