Currently we provide these services for Geneva and Zurich airport, this includes the provision of airline schedule data for airports and handling agents.

Lead by the Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation, Slot Coordination Switzerland (SCS) was established on December 4, 2003 as an independent non-profit company (legally as an association constituted under Swiss federal act) and went into operation on April 1, 2004. The management and all personnel are directly employed by SCS. Members of the company are:

Funding Scheme
Slot Coordination Switzerland is financed by
- Airports of Geneva and Zurich (49%)
- Swiss airlines operating to/from Geneva and/or Zurich (49%)
- Federal Office of Civil Aviation (2%)
Funding is constituted under Swiss federal act (effective October 1, 2005) and is based on the amount of slots held per company at slot return deadline (January 15 and August 15).
Coordination Technology
SCS does use SCORE as its EDP coordination system which is developed by Prolog Development Center (PDC) in Copenhagen, Denmark. SCORE (Slot Coordination and Reporting System) is portable and therefore easy to use during IATA Slot Conference and uses modular client-server architecture and the latest database technology to reflect very complex airport coordination constraints. SCORE is being used today by 25 coordinations at 140 airports throughout the world.
The Internet-based Online Coordination System (OCS) provides registered aviation customers with a 24 hour service to request slots or make changes to their existing slot portfolio by editing records of their schedules directly in the coordinators database.
