When your slot delay is longer than your flight time - Antwerp!

Long delay tonight in Antwerp – Schipol flight. First time the slot delay exceeded my flight time without something like ATC computer system going down.

But the slot kept changing until it was almost gone?

Nope, didn’t change at all.

What was the flight ID ?

I had this happen a few years ago and decided to phone the Eurocontrol help desk. They were extremely helpful and gave me a revised and more sensible slot almost immediately.

Here is a link to their contacts page (It’s OK, it’s not a paid for site )

I’ll try to figure out what happened. 9/10 an EHAM arrival restriction…

EBST, Belgium

Yep, EHAM arrival restriction due to capacity.

“EHAM arrivals entry cross border airspace”

Average delay was 30’

EBST, Belgium

Funny when you have an EHAM slot that they still have arrival problems.

Better than the LSZH method, no slots available but a totally deserted airport…
