What you still need to check
- The scope of application may be different from the general operator fee in the existing NOU data. The actual date, flight number, and target passenger conditions must be compared. The current operation of the pick-up and parking shuttles of the remaining operators in GEA is unconfirmed.
- Separate confirmation is required from the official operator before posting and actual use.
Confirm the operating airline, travel date, current terminal and live service with the linked operators. This page can't decide entry rules, baggage handling, accessibility or a minimum connection time.
