Parking Positions

Stand Availability

To avoid any discussion with other pilots and to enhance realism, we kindly ask you to check if your stand is already occupied before connecting. You can use either our website or Vatsim Radar to check this. 

Real-World Parking Positions

To find the real-world used parking position of your flight we recommend the Flightradar24 history whenever possible. 

Additionally, you may also check the stand assignment list our controllers will use for arriving aircraft. 

Apron A

Apron A is mainly used by low-cost carriers Ryanair, Wizzair, Norwegian and Vueling. Additionally, aircraft not requiring a jetway (e.g. CRJ, ATR or Dash 8) will park here. On Vatsim, this apron shall also be used by fictional airlines.
