Comments

Requires slots for both IFR and VFR inbound and outbound traffic and can be obtained the day in advance via MFGZ. See airport website for time ranges for which Cat. A aircraft slots can be obtained.
Good and easy handling by MFGZ which included car shuttle from/to aircraft and GAC terminal building, slot coordination and ordering a taxi - this is an excellent example of how "basic handling" should be offered and performed at a busy airport used by commercial airliners. Very straightforward.
We arrived IFR and ATC sequenced us well between two commercial airliners.
