Parking Procedures
No aircraft stand are available. All aircraft will be guided to the respective parking spots by marshallers. In the
absence of marshallers the control tower will issue parking instructions on the radio.
Taxiing to and from the main apron
All aircraft entering and exiting the main apron will be instructed by the control tower on the taxiway to be
followed. If another taxiway, other than the one allocated is desired, specific ATC clearance to do so is to be
obtained.
Due to the close proximity of the terminal and other associated building with the manoeuvring area, all aircraft
are to avoid as much as possible, making tight turns and using excessive power for taxing to and from the main
apron.
Limitation in the use of own power for taxiing
When it is determined by the Apron and Terminal Services Unit that the taxiing of aircraft to and from the main
apron could be dangerous to other persons and property on and around the area all such other aircraft will be
towed in or out, to or from the main apron.
All such aircraft that have to be towed in will have to switch off all engines while on the runway, when instructed
to do so by the control tower.
All aircraft that need to be towed out will only be allowed to start engines when the aircraft is well clear of the
main apron.
