### Parking Positions

Parking positions with an **additional A or B** should be used for all **Medium Aircraft** except the Boeing 757 whenever available (e.g. stand 01A, 02B). If using the stand without A or B you are blocking two stands and with the limited amount of parking positions available that reduces the apron capacity at the airport a lot.

**Heavy Aircraft** have to park at stands **without** any A or B **(stand 01, 02, 06, etc.)**. If you are using A or B you are blocking 3 stands instead of just the A and B stands next to you.

### Colored Lines

To increase the apron capacity there are two additional lines (**blue and orange**) available for all aircraft with a wingspan of less than 36 m (A321/B737 family) to taxi next to each other. If you are unable to push onto such a line or use it, please report that to the controller as soon as possible!

<p class="callout warning">Do not use the yellow line if you were instructed to use the orange or blue line!</p>

Be aware that if you are using pushback helpers like GSX, you probably need a specific EDDH profile. Otherwise you may end up pushing to the yellow center line, blocking the flow of traffic. For more control manual pushback is advised.
