Programme:
The Schedules Conference lasts 3.5 days, essentially dedicated to bilateral discussions between airlines and coordinators/facilitators. Meeting times can be agreed upon in advance of the Conference using the AppCal.
The following meetings are held during the conference:
- Newcomer session introduces first time participants to an overview of the Schedules Conference history, goals, and procedures.
- AppCal Best Practice session informs participants on how to make the best possible usage of this tool to maximise their meeting times at the conference.
- Head of Delegation (HOD) meeting is open to airline, coordinator and schedules facilitator Heads of Delegation only. HODs meet to discuss issues that may have come up during the conference or issues of a political nature that may affect the slot allocation process.
The Scheduling & Airport Slot Coordination - Advanced Coordinator Level 3 training course will take place 16 - 17 November 2009 at the Westin Bayshore.
During this two-day course you will learn about a terminal capacity analysis, preparation of the Slot Historical List (SHL) and the initial slot allocation. This course is interactive and uses practical exercises to demonstrate each section. For more information including course fees and registration please click here
