Coordination for non-based VFR flights

The goal is to obtain a more efficient and reliable air trafic coordination at Basel-Mulhouse Airport. Therefore it was decided to implement a PPR (Prior Permission Required) procedure for all non-based VFR flights requesting to land and park on the airport’s main apron.

This procedure does not concern non-based VFR flights planning to only perform touch and go or overshoot.

PPR operating procedure

  1. Check scheduled air trafic movement times on EuroAirport’s main apron (see table below).
  2. PPR request has to be sent by mail to ppr-lfsb@euroairport.com, don’t forget to attach the request form to the mail
  3. Stand reservation is mandatory for all non-based VFR flights
  4. After approval by airport authorities, applicant must report the PPR number in box 18 of the flight plan
  5. Apron Control department must be informed of all time changings or cancellations of the flight plan

Attention:

  • All aircraft planning to land and park on EuroAirport’s apron must have a Ground Handling Agent.
  • The approval of the PPR request by the airport authorities does not include the official handling request, except if EuroAirport is the desired handler.
