Standard Schedules Information Manual

INTRODUCTION
Airline schedules data (timetable information) is distributed throughout the airline industry to a
growing number of recipients such as airline reservations systems, timetable agencies, airline
partnerships, traffic handling agencies, airport coordinators, air traffic control authorities and
Government departments.
Airline schedules data is initially associated with airline reservations and ticketing systems and
subsequently with the exchange of other data required for timetable planning and production, and
for airline operational purposes.
It is recommended that at least 360 days of advance schedules data, including Minimum Connect
Time data, should be distributed on an equal basis to all schedules aggregators, reservations and
ticketing systems in which a carrier participates, to maximise the efficiencies of such systems.
Due to the ever-increasing volume of data being exchanged, the industry requires speedier and
more efficient methods of exchanging this data.
The airlines considered it essential that compatible timetable systems needed to be developed to
ensure that airline timetable information was exchanged on a cost-effective basis within the airline
industry. As such, all parties have needed to make use of computer facilities and established
procedures to ease the burden of handling the significant amounts of data being exchanged within
the industry.
To facilitate the exchange of data, the IATA Member Airlines initiated the development of an official
set of Recommended Practices to guide the industry along mutually compatible lines for schedule
data handling procedures. These Recommended Practices and associated industry code sets are
published in the Standard Schedules Information Manual (SSIM).
The responsibility for maintaining the Standard Schedules Information Manual (SSIM) is mandated
to the Schedules Information Standards Committee (SISC).
The Schedules Information Standards Committee (SISC) is established by the IATA Passenger
Services Conference (PSC) with the following terms of reference:
• Develop and maintain a set of common standards for the exchange of schedule data, including
industry standard code sets for a variety of schedule related data elements;
• Disseminate and encourage the use of common schedule data handling procedures and
standard formats for the exchange of schedule information as published in the Standard
Schedules Information Manual (SSIM);
• Liaise with other IATA committees and working groups, in particular the Schedule Policy
Working Group (SPWG), as well as other organisations as appropriate to meet changing
industry requirements and to further the objectives of the SISC;
• The Joint Schedules Advisory Group (JSAG) will ensure formal liaison between the airport
coordinator community and SISC;
• SISC will provide an annual report to the PSC comprising all proposed and adopted changes to
SSIM. In addition a written report of the work of SISC will be made to the Heads of Delegation
Meeting of the regularly scheduled IATA Schedules Conferences;
• The PSC will be responsible for final endorsement of proposed changes to SSIM;
• Participation is by schedules specialists from IATA airlines and industry experts in the IATA
Strategic Partnership programme;
• A rapporteur will be established to provide liaison for non-IATA airlines participating in the
Schedules Conference;
• Airport Coordinators participating in the IATA Schedule Conference are invited to participate in
SISC.

Introduction

The Objectives of the Manual
The primary objective of the Manual is to provide the airline industry with an official set of neutral
Recommended Practices to guide the industry along mutually compatible lines in the development
of schedule data handling procedures.
The secondary objective is to achieve the highest possible degree of standardisation in technique,
format and conventions and to incorporate, to the maximum possible extent, all relevant IATA
standards and Recommended Practices in common use.
The Manual does not dictate the way in which airlines, or other organisations, should handle their
own internal schedule information. It aims to set common standards for external exchanges; each
individual organisation will determine the extent to which it will adopt SSIM standards internally.
It is very important to maintain a degree of flexibility of expression in all the media described in the
subsequent Chapters. Rigid rules describe the presentation of the fixed basic data elements, but
provision has been made for the inclusion of additional explanatory data in Variable Data
Elements. This facilitates clarification or enlargement of the fixed data, or the addition of
specialised information not otherwise allowed for in the SSIM standards. It is believed that this will
help many potential users.
The ultimate objective, of course, is that the Manual should be widely disseminated and used
throughout the world. IATA is actively pursuing this aim and a growing number of airlines and
agencies have already implemented many of the recommendations in the Manual.

The Benefits of Implementation
As increasing use is made of these practices, significant benefits will accrue to the industry; some
of these are:
(a) faster more efficient input procedures will save manpower and time for both airlines and
agencies;
(b) timetable agency publication lead times will reduce making it possible to include more up-todate information;
(c) the “down” time of computer reservations systems for updating processes will be very greatly
reduced;
(d) new season's timetables will be processed faster and more accurately and can be updated
much more efficiently;
(e) airlines or agencies with computer facilities adapted to handle information in the standard
format will be able to process and forward this information on behalf of airlines which do not
have such facilities;
(f) the wider the recommended practices are implemented, the more feasible it becomes to set up
schedule data banks for many analytical purposes;
(g) the exchange and consolidation of computerised timetable data will greatly facilitate operational
control, airport and airspace coordination, both on a day-to-day basis and for future seasons.
This will also facililitate fast-time ATC Simulation.
This Manual is the first step towards realisation of these benefits that are considered essential for
maximum efficiency and cost effectiveness in the air transport industry.
Note: All SSIM Chapters provide for the use of three-letter Airline Designators.

Amendment Procedures
Once a new Issue of the Standard Schedules Information Manual (SSIM) has become effective,
new business requirements and amendments must follow PSC adoption procedures in order to be
included in the next issue of the SSIM.
All proposals to amend the SSIM shall be addressed to SSIM@iata.org using the agenda template
from the SISC webpage for consideration by the next meeting of the SISC. SISC Participants are
listed in Attachment 1.
Proposed amendments to SSIM discussed and agreed at SISC will be submitted to the PSC for
adoption.
SSIM amendments will be circulated to the PSC accredited representatives who will be given 30
days to comment on any proposal. If a majority of votes received from industry representatives
agree with the standards, they will be adopted.
All agreed amendments become effective on the date recommended and shall be published in the
next issue of SSIM, promulgated as RP 1761b.
Additionally, a report on the amendments to SSIM agreed by SISC will be submitted to JSAG.
A minimum of six months notice shall normally be provided for major amendments. However, for
circumstances where a new SSIM business requirement or an amendment necessitates urgent
implementation and needs to be addressed between SISC meetings (e.g. a change in government
regulation), the following electronic procedure may be used to expedite the change:
• The proposed amendment must be submitted to the SISC Secretary (SSIM@iata.org)
• The proposal will be circulated to the committee for review and approval
• If a majority of votes received from the SISC within 30 days of the proposal being
distributed is in agreement, the recommendation to amend SSIM will then follow the PSC
Mail Vote Procedure for adoption as an IATA Standard
• SSIM amendments will be submitted to the PSC accredited representatives who will be
given 30 days to comment on any proposal. If a majority of votes received from industry
representatives agree with the standards, they will be adopted
• Agreed amendments become effective on the date recommended and shall be published
as a SSIM Addendum.
All amendments to the SSIM, however published, require the approval of the PSC. Proposed
amendments to SSIM Appendix A, D and F shall also be advised to SSIM@iata.org.

Chapter 2:

Information Required for Standard Schedules

The elements of information essential for the full presentation of airline schedules, are set out in
alphabetical order. Construction rules are described and subsequent chapters deal with the
formatting of these elements in order to perform specific data transmittal functions.

Chapter 3:

Standard Print Layouts for Schedules Information

Two examples of layouts are shown. One of these illustrates a horizontal presentation, which best
suits single sector operations, while the other shows a vertical presentation more suitable for multisector operations.
These presentations serve as examples of how the minimum data requirements of printed
schedules can be arranged to create printed schedules used for interline exchange, information
and working purposes, particularly at IATA Schedules Conferences.

Introduction
Chapter 4:

Standard Schedules Message Procedure

Some schedule information is passed between airlines and to timetable agencies by telegraph
message. The standard telegraph message format described is mainly used for amendment to
previously disseminated schedules; such amendments may cover long term or short term periods.
The format, although primarily aimed at automated handling, can also be manually interpreted and
will be of more general interest, since the recommended practice is not dependent on automation.

Chapter 5:

Ad Hoc Schedules Message Procedure

This is an extension of Chapter 4, to cover “ad hoc” or “occasional” changes to established and
previously disseminated schedules, but which affect a flight on single dates. Such an “ad hoc”
change of plan may be notified at any stage in advance of the operation and may refer to an
“extra” flight.
In the case of a previously advised flight, it may reflect the cancellation of the whole or part of a
flight, or a change of routing, timing, equipment or configuration.
The telegraph message formats described in this chapter are intended to cover a wider variety of
planning and operations control functions than are necessary in the case of the more basic
schedule changes covered in the previous chapter.
It should be noted that procedures for the reporting of unplanned eventualities such as diversions
are covered in the IATA Airport Handling Manual.

Chapter 6:

Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement Procedures

Standard procedures are recommended where it is necessary to obtain clearance or provide
information of schedule times of arrival and departure.
Submissions may be by telegraph message or hard copy format. A standard layout, which covers
both telegraph and manual presentation, is described.

Chapter 7:

Presentation and Transfer of a Schedule Data Set

The current standards to be applied for the exchange of complete schedules for processing by
computerized systems are described.
It is used as the main method of bulk transfer of full schedules between those airlines and
agencies who are developing schedule databases and scheduling systems, built around the use of
computers.
This schedule transfer also involves other organisations, such as air traffic control authorities and
timetable agencies.

Appendices to the SSIM
Appendices cover the basic table data commonly employed in airline scheduling and general
information which users will find useful.

Appendix A — ATA/IATA Aircraft Types
This comprises encoding and decoding lists for current (and future) operational aircraft. The codes
are the standard ATA/IATA 3-character codes.
In normal circumstances the Subtype Code should be used. However, this does not preclude the
use of the more commonly understood General Designator for publication purposes.

Appendix B — Meal Service Codes
Coding of the Meal Service Codes that indicate meal services provided on each flight leg.

Appendix C — Service Types
Coding list of the Service Types for the classification of a Flight or Flight Leg as well as the type of

CHAPTER 2 — INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR STANDARD
SCHEDULES
2.1

Data Requirements
When exchanging schedules information, it is essential to standardise the set of data elements
used. The main reason for this is that when the information is used in automated systems, the size
of investment in computers and communications facilities demands that the appropriate data be
processed in these systems. However, manual systems will also benefit from such development.
A data element is in this connection defined as a sequence of alphanumeric, alphabetic or numeric
characters that, depending on the specific context, has a unique meaning.
Each individual data element must be described and used in the same way. For the successful
automation of schedules information to occur, each data element must imply one and only one
meaning to each computer system and individual who uses the data element.
Likewise, it is necessary to set size limits for the data elements and define rules for the
construction and interpretation of the contents so that the transmission and processing of the data
elements can be conducted in an orderly fashion.
This Chapter contains a presentation of the rules applied when defining data elements and
message formats in this manual and when referring to data elements in the procedures presented
in this manual, as well as defining terms used by those handling schedules information.

2.2

Data Representation

2.2.1

Character Set
To ensure worldwide transmission of information, the use of principle characters is limited to:

In order to avoid ambiguity in printed presentations, fonts must be used that have distinguishable
characters to clearly represent the number zero, the capital letters ‘I’ and ‘O’, and the small letter ‘i’.
Type or print techniques employing variable horizontal spacing should be avoided.

Chapter 7 is a fixed format application.
All data elements must appear in their correct position and blanks are mandatory where
appropriate.

2.2.3

Information Separators
The following rules are applied with regard to information separators:
DATA ELEMENTS are separated by a space (→).
LINES OF TEXT are separated by a CR immediately followed by LF (<≡).
SUB-MESSAGES, whenever multiple action messages are forwarded within a single telegraph
message, they are separated by two slashes immediately followed by the combination CR and
LF(// <≡).
Note 1: In some cases, data within a Data Element is separated by the use of a single slash (/).
When a maximum character count applies in the format of such a Data Element, the slash does
not constitute a character to be included in that count.
Note 2: Two slashes (//) can be used without immediately being followed by the CR and LF
characters.
This applies to some Data Element formats described in this Chapter, and to line wrapping
conventions only applicable in Chapter 6.

Mandatory
A mandatory data element contains information that forms a fundamental part of the
data communication and must be included under all circumstances.
Conditional
A conditional data element becomes mandatory under certain conditions that are stated
or implied in the Technical Specifications.
The element must be omitted if these conditions do not apply.
The conditions will usually take the form of a dependence on other elements or the
existence, alteration or deletion of fundamental data.
The recipient of conditional data may interpret it as optional.
Optional
An optional data element may be omitted if not required.
Omission of the element is independent of all other elements and does not have any
effect on these.
not permitted

2.3

Data Elements and Data Element Identifiers

2.3.1

General
The following sections in this Chapter constitute the common reference for all the descriptions in
the subsequent Chapters of this Manual.
The characteristics of each data element are defined and are valid throughout the Manual.
They are also independent of the method for communication.
The definition and use of each data element is presented in alphabetical order by means of a Data
Element Glossary (Section 2.6).
The Glossary also includes certain terms and their definitions deemed necessary for clarity.
When data elements have different formats in different Chapters, the specific formats within each
Chapter have been specified.
Examples on the use of each data element are also included within each Chapter.
When appropriate, more than one example is shown for clarity.
Many data elements are identified by means of a numeric DATA ELEMENT IDENTIFIER (DEI).
These data elements normally modify or amplify various other data elements or constitute
additional data to the flight.
When a data element is associated with a Data Element Identifier, the appropriate numeric value is
identified in the Glossary entry.
It should be especially noted that Data Element Identifiers do not always apply to all Chapters of
SSIM.

Standard Schedules Information Manual
2.3.2

Relationship Between Data Elements and their Associated Data
Element Identifiers
A Data Element Identifier is always related to a data element, except in cases where the Data
Element Identifier itself implies the condition.
In general, the Data Element Identifier indicates the type of information explained under the related
data element. It is used, where necessary, to modify or amplify various schedule data elements, or
add additional ones.
Data Element Identifiers normally have optional status.
However, many of the Data Element Identifiers and associated data elements are conditional,
based on the ‘conditions’ of the schedule.
Examples include Data Element Identifiers below 100 and those associated with traffic restrictions.
Others, such as 201 (Subject to Government Approval) and 210 (Plane Change at Board Point
without Aircraft Type Change) become essential when such conditions are applicable.
Also, such data elements may be required when, because of technical format limitations, certain
information exceeds the field size of the original data element.
An example is Data Element Identifier 106 (Passenger Reservations Booking Designator
Exceeding Maximum Length).
To provide complete schedule information, it is strongly recommended that the maximum possible
use be made of data elements associated with Data Element Identifiers.
In Chapters 4 and 5 applications, the Data Element Identifier is preceded by the Segment to which
it refers (except Data Elements 1–7 and 9) and the data element is preceded by a slash (/).
See the appropriate data element for format rules.
For Chapter 7 application the Data Element Identifier is stated in the Segment Data Record
(Record Type 4).
The associated data element (when applicable) is also stated in this record starting in byte 40.
The format for this data element is fixed, i.e. any byte within the format that does not apply has to
be filled by a space.
For format rules, see the associated data element in this Chapter.
In some cases, it becomes necessary to express certain data elements that are usually leg related
as applying only to a stated segment or group of segments within an itinerary.
The facility to “override” (or replace) the leg related information with alternative information for
certain segment(s) is provided by Data Element Identifiers.
For Chapter 7, although no order is prescribed when multiple Data Element Identifiers follow the
same Flight Leg Record, the following is recommended:
— when multiple data records apply to different Off Points, the records should be ordered
according to the occurrence of the Off Point in the itinerary;
— if multiple data records apply to the same Off Point, they should appear together and be
ordered according to the numeric sequence of the Data Element Identifiers starting with the
lowest number.
However, systems should be able to process the records in any order.

2.3.3

Listings
The alphabetical listing of all data elements can be found in Section 2.4.1: Alphabetic List.
The numeric listing of all Data Element Identifiers and associated data elements can be found

→ For further guidance, refer to Appendix H: Aircraft Seating Description
Use
ACV may also optionally specify the number of seats fitted per compartment and/or the planned
available capacity for cargo and/or mail.
The ACV data element can only be used for legs, and not for segments which are not also legs.
As it is a physical description, this field does not necessarily specify the codes to be used for
publication, reservation and other public information purposes, or classes provided.
When this physical description does not sufficiently detail the categories of compartments or class
of service provided for such purposes, use should be made of the data element Passenger
Reservations Booking Designator.
Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 7 Applications
The presentation consists of a string of characters in which the codes are in the mandatory
sequence P through V V.
The presentation in Chapter 7 is limited to 20 characters.
It consists of either:
1.
(a) A sequence of passenger codes in the order presented in the table below, or
(b) A sequence of passenger codes in the order presented in the table below, each Aircraft
Compartment/Class of Service Code followed by a non-zero quantitative specification of
the number of seats available (see Note 3 below), and/or
2. A sequence of cargo codes in the order presented in the table below, each optionally followed
by a non-zero quantitative specification of the capacity available (see Note 3 below), or
3. The characters “BB” indicate the sole carriage of non-containerized cargo and/or mail. (It may
be assumed that all aircraft in revenue service carry such cargo and/or mail thus not
necessitating its specification.) and optionally
4. The characters “V V” followed by an aircraft version reference code as assigned by the
Administrating Carrier, the definition of which is notified to the intended recipient for use as
appropriate.
Notes:
1. Whilst specification of the number of seats fitted is optional, when a value is quoted the total
seats must equal the seating capacity of the aircraft.
2. Where it is not possible to express the Aircraft Configuration/Version within the available field
(maximum line length in Chapters 4 and 5, 20 characters in Chapter 7), “XX” will be stated in
the first two positions.
Also, for Chapter 7 purposes only, the third through twentieth positions will be blank, thus
indicating that reference should be made to Data Element Identifier 108 (Aircraft Configuration/
Version Exceeding Maximum Length) for full Aircraft Configuration/Version specification.

DEI 121 is only applicable to Chapters 4, 5 and 7
Use
This data element allows carriers to publish a consolidated schedule as a combination of different
itinerary variations where the only difference is the Aircraft Type.
It is also possible to override codes listed in SSIM Appendix A with non-aircraft codes.
Although this is not generally recommended, this could well be used for Surface Vehicles, e.g.
trains, to reflect different types of equipment not listed in SSIM Appendix A.
Chapters 4, 5 and 7 Applications
The alphanumeric string of characters stated in this data element will override the Aircraft Type
stated in Equipment Information (Chapters 4 and 5) or Record Type 3 (Chapter 7) for timetable

Use
Carriers not assigned IATA 2-character codes may use the ICAO 3-letter codes.
However, for publication and reservations purposes, 3-letter codes must currently not be used as
some computer systems would be unable to read them.
Reference should also be made to IATA Resolution 762 and ATA Resolution 5.38.
The data element format provides for 3-character designators.
When the industry formally adopts the three character designators, the format will be ‘aaa’.
Meanwhile, the present official format is ‘xx’ but effectively is ‘xa’ or ‘ax’ in practice, in order to
avoid confusion with the Flight Number.

by specific deletion, by using the same Data Element Identifier(s) but stating “NIL” after the Data
Element Identifier — e.g. AAABBB 111/NIL.
When using Chapter 7 complete replacement of all data is being carried out, including any
segment data previously specified using Data Element Identifiers.
In cases where a single Data Element Identifier contains a list of items/codes (e.g. In-Flight Service
Information — Data Element Identifier 503), it is not possible to add, delete or revise the individual
items/codes in the list on their own. In such cases, a complete revised list of items/codes must be
transmitted.
APPLICATION OF DATA ELEMENT IDENTIFIERS
→ For further guidance, refer to Appendix H: Legs/Segments
The following table lists all Data Element Identifiers in numerical order stating their position in SSM
(Chapter 4) and ASM (Chapter 5) use as well as the applicable Record Type for Chapter 7 use.
Where alternatives exist, the data may only be placed in one position for each sub-message of
Itinerary Variation.

CHAPTER 2
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

Information Required for Standard Schedules
Note 1: The Data Element Identifiers marked S or 4 can only be used for legs, and not for
segments which are not also legs. For example, Data Element Identifier 503 is shown as S, and
is clearly defined in this Chapter as being a leg based data element. Therefore on a flight routing
AAA-BBB-CCC, it would be wrong to show on the Segment Information line of an SSM:
AAACCC 503/8,
but correct to show:
AAABBB 503/8 and/or BBBCCC 503/8
When QQQ is used as part of the segment specification, this rule still applies.
This means that, on a flight routing AAA-BBB-CCC, QQQQQQ 503/9, for example, can only be
used when it applies to BOTH the legs AAA-BBB and BBB-CCC. QQQQQQ has no meaning for
AAA-CCC, because 503 is a leg based data element.
QQQ means all Board or Off Points (or both) depending upon which position it is in.
For segment based Data Element Identifiers, such as 8, 11, 101, 102, 111 etc, on a flight routing
AAA-BBB-CCC, QQQCCC means AAA-CCC and BBB-CCC, but not AAA-BBB because BBB is not
stated as an Off Point.
Similarly, AAAQQQ means AAA-BBB and AAA-CCC, but not BBB-CCC because BBB is not stated
as a Board Point.
QQQQQQ means all segments — AAA-BBB, AAA-CCC and BBB-CCC.
For station oriented Data Element Identifiers, such as 97, 98, 99, 198 and 199, the format or
meaning of the Data Element Identifier defines whether it is the Board Point or Off Point of the
stated segment that is being referenced.

Note 2:
The application of a data element should be stated at the highest applicable level
possible (levels are F, P, E, L, S) and not repeated at a lower level in the same message.
For example, in Chapter 4, if Service Type “J”, Aircraft Type “744”, and Aircraft Configuration/
Version “PCY” (i.e. all Equipment information) applies to all legs of a multi-leg flight, this
information should be stated only once (level E) prior to the information relating to the first leg
(level L); it should not be re-stated before each set of leg information.

In the absence of any information to the contrary, it is assumed that the default
situation for a Carrier is “EN”.
A default can be specified for a Carrier in one of the following ways:
(a) For Chapter 7, by using bytes 189 and 190 of Record Type 2.
(b) By bilateral agreement between the parties concerned.
Note: It is not possible to transmit a default for a Carrier using Chapters 4 or 5.
Use
Used to identify whether or not a flight leg is an Electronic Ticketing Candidate.
When a segment is made up of more than one leg, the segment can be an Electronic Ticketing
Candidate only if all the legs contained within the segment are designated for Electronic Ticketing
Candidates. (See Appendix H, ‘Electronic Ticketing Information’ and ‘Legs/Segments’.)
For example, in the case of an itinerary AAA-BBB-CCC-DDD, where legs AAA-BBB and BBB-CCC
are Electronic Ticketing Candidates, and leg CCC-DDD is not an Electronic Ticketing Candidate,
the segments AAA-BBB, BBB-CCC, and AAA-CCC are Electronic Ticketing Candidate, because
both the constituent legs/segments AAA-BBB and BBB-CCC are Electronic Ticketing Candidates.
However, the segments AAA-DDD and BBB-DDD are not Electronic Ticketing Candidates,
because they contain the leg CCC-DDD that is not an Electronic Ticketing Candidate.

Chapter 4 Application
The notification of intermediate stations is optional for SSM messages in Chapter 4.
For the Action Identifiers “EQT” and “CON” the FLCI is conditional and is submitted on the Routing
or Leg Information line. The routing supplied in the FLCI refer to the preceding Equipment
Information line. Therefore the information given in the Equipment Information line applies only to
the leg(s) stated in the FLCI.
For the Action Identifier “ADM” the FLCI replaces the stations and timings of Routing or Leg
Information line(s). Therefore only the DEIs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 9 stated in that line apply only to the

Use
In order to facilitate interline information exchange the following rules shall be applied and
considered when assigning Flight Numbers. These rules must be observed without regard to
leading zeros.
Failure to observe them may result in the inability of some systems to process the data.
(a) The Flight Number shall identify a flight or series of similar flights.
(b) The Flight Number shall be assigned such that it applies to only one scheduled departure from
origin station per day (UTC and local).
For UTC applications (including Airport Clearance/Advice), the Operational Suffix when used
shall be considered to be part of the Flight Number for this purpose.
(c) At any given station on any one date (UTC and local) there may only be at most one
scheduled departure and at most one scheduled arrival with the same Flight Number. This
rule applies to ALL Stations in the flight routing. For UTC applications (including Airport
Clearance/Advice) the Operational Suffix when used shall be considered to be part of the Flight
Number for this purpose.
(d) The Flight Number shall be assigned for a flight such that no one station on the routing may
occur more than once except that the origin station may be the same as the final destination

is required to be specific as to whether leading zeros should be used for commercial display
purposes, then Data Element 122 (Flight Number Override) must be provided to specify the Flight
Number with or without the leading zeros.
Note 3: The use of leading zeros does not create a different Flight Number. For example, Flight
Numbers 123 and 0 123 are the same.

DEI 503 is only applicable to Chapters 4, 5 and 7
Format
The format incorporates the possibility to expand the code list to three-digit codes.
Default usage:
• Default values can only be submitted using chapter 7. It is not possible to transmit defaults for
a Carrier using Chapters 4 or 5.
• In the absence of any information provided to the contrary, code “9” (non smoking) applies.
• Should a Carrier wish to change the default from Non-smoking to Smoking for a given flight
leg, this can be accomplished by using the DEI 503 with the value “8”.
• Any default value(s) specified applies all services of the Carrier and not just to the services of
that Carrier for the stated Period of Schedule Validity.
• Where a Carrier has provided default value(s), but wishes to state additional In-Flight Service
Information codes for specific flight legs, the In-Flight Service Information stated for such flight
legs must contain ALL codes applicable to that flight leg, including a repeat of any such codes
contained in the default value(s) for the Carrier.
• Defaults for all in-flight services can be specified for a Carrier in one of the following ways:
(a) For Chapter 7, by using bytes 170 to 188 of Record Type 2 to specify up to five defaults.
(b) By bilateral agreement between the parties concerned.
Use
It is the responsibility of the information sender to ensure that In-Flight Service Information codes
used do not contradict each other.
For example, use of codes “8” and “9” on the same flight leg is contradictory, since either the
flight leg is all ‘Non-smoking’, or ‘smoking’ is allowed on some parts of the aircraft.
In cases where a Carrier has provided default values, but wishes to entirely remove all values for a
Y specific flight leg, this may be accomplished by using “NIL”, instead of an In-Flight Service
Information code.
For example:
In Chapter 7: AB503AAABBBNIL
In cases where only some of the values supplied in the default need to be removed, carriers need
to state the remaining values in a DEI 503.
Chapters 4 and 5 Applications
The maximum line length constraint of 58 characters must be protected.
In cases where a Carrier has previously provided in flight service values, but wishes to entirely
remove all values for a specific flight leg, this may be accomplished by using “NIL”, instead of an
In-Flight Service Information code.

ITINERARY VARIATION IDENTIFIER (IVI)

DEI – – –

A number used to differentiate between itineraries having the same Flight Designator (without
regard to Operational Suffixes, if any).
An Itinerary is a single flight or a series of identical flights defined by a continuous Period and
Day(s) of Operation (and Frequency Rate if applicable), each of which consists of one or more
contiguous legs which, taken together, describe a complete routing of that flight.
Application
Format
Example
Chapter 7
nn

→ For further guidance, refer to Appendix H: Daylight Saving Time
Format
A number between 01 and 99
Use
Itinerary Variation Identifiers shallbe assigned such that the itinerary with the earliest effective date
shall be assigned IVI “01”, that with the next effective date, IVI “02”, etc.
Where two or more itineraries have equal effective dates, the itinerary with the earliest discontinue
date shall be assigned the smallest IVI, etc; where two or more itineraries have the same Period of
Operation, IVIs are then assigned in any order.
This does not preclude the use of the identifier in describing a flight for any other reason, that is to
say splitting records and giving them more than the number of Itinerary Variation Identifiers strictly
necessary.
Note: When more than 99 IVIs are required for the same Flight Designator, use should be made
of the Itinerary Variation Identifier Overflow data element.
In such cases, the IVI may equal “00”, when the true IVI is ‘100’, ‘200’, etc.

Note: For descriptions of other data elements applicable to Commercial Agreements, see
Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation and Operating

Use
Joint Operations always involve both an Administrating Carrier, (i.e., the airline which schedules
the flight) and a Reservations Control Carrier, (i.e., the airline which controls the reservations for
the flight).
Irrespective of how many carriers participate in such a joint operation, there can be only one
Administrating Carrier and one Reservations Control Carrier.
The Administrating Carrier's Airline Designator will appear as part of the Flight Designator of the
joint operation.
The Reservations Control Carrier will be the first (i.e., ‘left-hand’) carrier named in the series of
Airline Designators used to denote the joint operation.
All Joint Operation Airline Designators common to each of the legs making up the segment shall be
deemed to be Joint Operation Airline Designators on the segment, unless specified otherwise by
using the Joint Operation Airline Designators Segment Override, which is also used to specify joint
operation on multi-leg segments.
Example:
Carrier XA operates flight 901 over itinerary AAA-BBB-CCC, and is in joint operation with carrier XB
from BBB to CCC. Furthermore, carrier XB controls all reservations boarding BBB.
The Flight Designator of this service will be XA901.
The Joint Operation Airline Designators for the leg BBB-CCC will be XB/XA.

(b) For Chapters 4 and 5 variable format coding with one or two codes per class (as specified in
the Passenger Reservations Booking Designator, or Aircraft Configuration/Version as applicable) preceded by a Class Code in the Passenger Reservations Booking Designator.
The Passenger Reservations Booking Designator Codes and their associated Meal Code(s)
must be separated by a slash (/). A simpler specification can be made if meal service is equal
in all classes, or within a trailing group of classes as specified in the Passenger Reservations
Booking Designator. In this case, the first class code (of the group) is replaced by a slash (/)
and no subsequent classes need to be specified;
(c) For Chapter 7, a fixed format 10 byte field, with 2 bytes per class (as specified in the

blank filled, with the first 2 bytes specifying the meal(s) applicable to the first class stated, the
next 2 bytes to the next class, and so on;
(d) Whenever Meal Codes for more than one class are given, the Meal Codes must be stated in
the same order as the corresponding class codes in the Passenger Reservations Booking
Designator or Aircraft Configuration/Version, as appropriate;
(e) For Chapters 4 and 5, in the case of no Meal Service for a class, all the classes having a Meal
Service shall be specified. The simplified specification (see (b) above) shall not be used;
(f) If the Meal Service Note is applicable to more than 5 classes (including a non-specified group
of classes in Chapters 4 and 5), “XX” will be stated on the first two positions.
This indicates that reference should be made to Data Element Identifier 109 (Meal Service

MINIMUM CONNECTING TIME INTERNATIONAL/

DEI – – –

Identification of the international/domestic status on each flight leg to control the correct
generation of flight connections between two flights
Application
Format
Example
Chapter 7
aa
DD
→ For further guidance, refer to Appendix H: Minimum Connecting Time
Default:
The country codes of the origin and destination stations on the flight leg are compared. When the
countries are the same, the leg status is “DD” or domestic.
When the countries are different, the leg status is “II” or international.
This Data Element is only used in Chapter 7. In Chapters 4 and 5 when the status of the flight leg,
or segment, for Minimum Connecting Time (MCT) application cannot be interpreted correctly based
on this default, then use of Data Element Identifier 220 (Minimum Connecting Time International/Domestic Status Override) is necessary.
Note: The International/Domestic Status specified may be based on the default or known
exceptions in applicable markets, rather than additionally using Data Element Identifier 220 to deal
with the exceptions.
This means a leg status of “DI” or “ID” is possible when an exception applies.
When a segment, that is not also a leg, differs from the default stated above, it is necessary to use
Data Element Identifier 220 to specify the International/Domestic Status.

Standard Schedules Information Manual
Chapter 7 Application
A two byte optional field in Record Type 3.
When used, it consists of two characters.
The first character specifies the departure status of either “D” for domestic or “I” for International,
and the second character specifies the arrival status (“D” or “I”) of the specified leg.
Functional use of this Data Element requires the arrival status of one flight leg and the departure
status of the connecting flight leg to be combined. This combined status, either “DD”, “II”, “DI” or
“ID”, identifies the connection status for MCT application.
It is very important to correctly identify the connection status in order to find the accurate Minimum
Connect Time data to use in the building of the connection travel option.
These principles apply equally when Data Element Identifier 220 has been used to specify
International/Domestic Status.

D/I
DEI 220 is only applicable to Chapters 4, 5 and 7
Use
Used when the status (Domestic or International) of the flight leg or segment for Minimum
Connecting Time (MCT) application cannot be interpreted unambiguously.
It may also be applied to override the status normally derived from analyzing the routing of the
flight. The use of this data element uniquely defines if a flight leg or segment shall be processed for
MCT application as Domestic or International individually at both Board Point and Off Point.
In cases where this data element has not been used, and the status (Domestic or International) of,
say, an arriving flight at a Station is either ambiguous, or different to that which would be derived
from the default interpretation, it is likely that the Minimum Connecting Time used for any
passengers with onward connections booked from the arrival station will be wrong. This could
result in passengers and/or their baggage missing their onward flight.
The default interpretation is that where the Countries of origin and destination are the same, the
status is domestic, and where they are different, the status is international.
Chapters 4, 5 and 7 Applications
The following codes are used in Chapters 4, 5 and 7:

JER-LGW is Domestic at both Board (JER) and Off (LGW) Points.
However, passengers travelling JER-LGW are required to clear customs procedures at LGW,
arriving as “International” passengers.
The Minimum Connecting Time International/Domestic Status Override is used to uniquely define
that the departure from JER (the Board Point) is Domestic for MCT application, and the arrival at
LGW (the Off Point) is International for MCT application, on this particular flight routing:
JERLGW 220/D/I
Example 3:

However, passengers travelling LHR-DUB are not required to clear customs or immigration
procedures at DUB, departing LHR and arriving DUB as “Domestic” passengers.
The Minimum Connecting Time International/Domestic Status Override is used to uniquely define

Information that states the actual operator of the flight, when the operator is different from both the
Administrating Carrier and the Aircraft Owner. The use of this data element is mandatory when
there is a legal requirement to disclose the operator of a service.
If the operator of the service has its own Airline Designator, it is expected that this code is
submitted and must be specified in the first two or three bytes of the data element.
If the operator has no airline designator (or chooses not to use it) then the full company name, or
other additional text required for marketing purposes will be supplied as free text.
When a Designator is not supplied in the first 3 bytes the data element will start with a slash (/)
followed by the operating airline's name or other relevant text.
If the operator supplies both a code and additional text to its company name, the additional text is
specified after the Airline Designator with the designator and text separated by a slash (/).
When there is a requirement to disclose an Airline name and a corporate (or network) name, it is
recommended that the form “AIRLINE X DBA ABC EXPRESS” be used where ‘DBA’ means
‘doing business as’.
When both Code Share and Wet Lease conditions exist on the same flight, and there is a
requirement to disclose both Airlines, it is recommended that the form “AIRLINE ABC FOR
AIRLINE XYZ” be used.
AIRLINE ABC is the airline providing the aircraft and crew and is actually operating the flight
(the Wet Lease Carrier).
AIRLINE XYZ is the administrating (airline) in a Code Share arrangement.
Chapters 4 and 5 Applications
DEI 127 is required when the letter “X” is specified in Data Element Identifier 2 (Operating Airline
Disclosure – Code Share) or in Data Element Identifier 9 (Operating Airline Disclosure – Shared

Note: For Chapters 4 & 5 the technical specifications require that a slash (/) be used between the
Data Element Identifier number and the commencement of the plain text data element content. In
situations where the data element content itself also requires commencement with a slash (/) then
two slashes (//) are required. For example, in the case of GVAFRA 127//ABC AIRWAYS INC the
first slash is required by the message technical specification and the second is required as the

DEI 127 is used when either ‘X’ or ‘Z’ has been specified in byte 149 to indicate the following
conditions exist:
‘X’ Operating Airline Disclosure – Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation
‘Z’ Operating Airline Disclosure – Code Share
When specifying either a full company name or multiple names, users should be aware that some
computer systems have limitations on the number of characters that can be stored and/or
displayed.
As such, specifications of more than 35 characters may be truncated.
Note 1:
The carrier code is for use when applications cannot store data larger than airline
code — such as the “dual” display in City Pair Availability, where free text cannot be
accommodated.
Therefore, in City Pair Availability, a CRS could display the following:
UA/ZW
Note 2:
Free text following the slash is provided for applications capable of displaying free
text — such as invoicing and PNR data, where the 2/3 character limitation does not exist.
Therefore, on an invoice, for example, it would read:
OPERATED BY AIR WISCONSIN DBA UNITED EXPRESS

Format
An optional one alphabetic character that immediately follows the Flight Number.
The use and meaning of the suffix will be defined by the Administrating Carrier.
Use
When supplying Operational Suffix details for multi-leg flights, the suffix will apply to all legs of the
itinerary.
It is recommended that Suffix Z be reserved for use in connection with UTC day/date Flight
Designator duplications.
Suffix Z may be used regardless of whether the Time Mode used in a data transmission is UTC or
Local. If data is transmitted in Local Time, but the receiving system needs to convert it to UTC, the
lack of Suffix Z where UTC day/date duplications occur may cause problems.
The appropriate IATA/ATA Resolutions covering the reservations area specify that Flight Numbers
should only be numeric and thus not contain any alpha characters.
For this reason, the Operational Suffix must not be considered as part of the Flight Number for
publication and reservations purposes as some computer systems will be unable to read it.
Note: Based on this recommendation it is common practice in the Industry to program for suffix Z
to be used for UTC day/date duplications. Receiving systems may not be able to read other alpha
characters and the resulting display will be incorrect.

DEI 11 is only applicable to Chapters 4, 5 and 7
Use
The purpose of this data element is to indicate to reservations systems and airline guides which
flight segments are performed under a partnership/alliance arrangement for display purposes.
“Onliance” Connections are connections between flights of different airline designators that share
the same Partnership Specification on all flights from origin to final destination.
The “Onliance” connection is considered an interline connection for the application of Minimum
Connecting Time and Traffic Restrictions.
The “Onliance” connection is considered an online connection for display sequencing where an
online preference is given.
In the case of multi-leg flights, no assumption can be made about multi leg segments.
For example, routing AAA-BBB-CCC might have “Alliance XXX” specified on legs AAA-BBB and
BBB-CCC. No assumption can be made about Partnership Specification on segment AAA-CCC.
In cases where a flight segment may need to be identified as participating in more than one
partnership/alliance, multiple specification of Data Element Identifier 11 items may be filed.
Chapters 4, 5 and 7 Applications
Segment information lines (Chapters 4 and 5) and Segment Data Records (Chapter 7) pertaining
to Data Element Identifier 11 shall be kept as one group.
Updated transmissions of the same flight or flight segment(s) replace the complete previous set of
lines/records irrespective of the number of lines/records transmitted.
The characters will be translated by the receiving body through bilateral agreements.

Use
A station oriented data element that is used on a flight leg, the Board Point of the stated leg being
the station for which Passenger Check-In information is being provided.
If the Airline or agency being specified has its own Airline Designator, it must be specified in the
first 2 or 3 bytes of the data element.
Otherwise, the data element must start with a slash (/) followed by the Airline or agency's
incorporated/registered name in plain text, or any other plain text pertaining to where a passenger
should go to Check-in.
If the Airline or agency being specified wants to provide additional text to its incorporated/registered
name, it can be specified in plain text after the Airline Designator and separated by a slash (/).
The maximum number of characters allowed in this Data Element is 35, excluding any slashes (/).
When specified, the Airline Designator is for use when applications cannot store data larger than
the 2 or 3 character designator codes, where free text cannot be accommodated.
Free text following the slash is provided for applications capable of displaying free text, where the
2 or 3 character limitation does not exist.
In the absence of Passenger Check-In information, no default can be assumed.
Note: For Chapters 4 & 5 the technical specifications require that a slash (/) be used between the
Data Element Identifier number and the commencement of the plain text data element content. In
situations where the data element content itself also requires commencement with a slash (/) then
two slashes (//) are required. For example, in the case of GVAFRA 299//HALL B the first slash is
required by the message technical specification and the second is required as the commencement
of the plain text data element content because HALL B is a plain text description of where a
passenger should go to Check-in and not an Airline Designator code.

Use
Used for publication, reservations and other public information purposes, and may differ from the
physical aircraft layout that may be defined in the Aircraft Configuration/Version.
Chapters 3, 4, 5 and 7 Applications
A string of characters consisting of a series of single alphabetic codes from those listed in the
Aircraft Configuration/Version table and/or AIRIMP Section 7.1.1.
Optionally, all codes may be followed by a numeric value to indicate the number of seats for
each code.
The numeric value may also relate to a group of codes to specify the combined number of seats for
each group of codes, but this facility may not be used unless the Aircraft Configuration/Version
data element has also been stated.
The codes can be stated in any sequence. Receiving systems unable to process all codes
specified in this data element will normally process their maximum number in the order presented.
Some receiving systems are unable to introduce new reservations classes by using Data Element
Identifier 101 (Passenger Reservations Booking Designator Segment Override), unless they are
stated in the Passenger Reservations Booking Designator.
Note 1: While specification of the number of seats is optional, when a value is quoted the total
seats must equal the saleable seating capacity of the aircraft.

Chapter 7 Application
If any Passenger Reservations Booking Designator Code other than the first five are to be
modified, “XX” will be stated in the first two positions.
This will indicate that reference should be made to Data Element Identifier 107 (Passenger
Reservations Booking Modifier Exceeding Maximum Length) for full Passenger Reservations
Booking Modifier specification.
The modifier must be a single, non-blank, alphabetic character that is different from the Passenger
Reservations Booking Designator Code which it modifies.
The modifier is inserted in the appropriate sequential order (as specified in the Passenger
Reservations Booking Designator or Aircraft Configuration/Version, as appropriate) for the leg
concerned to indicate that a modifier is applicable.
Non-applicable and non-existent classes are to be blank-filled.
Note: Modifiers shall apply to multi-leg segments of a flight only when the Passenger
Reservations Booking Designator and the Passenger Reservations Booking Modifier are equal on
each of the legs making up the segment.
When classes and/or modifiers are different over a multi-leg segment, the override facility (Data
Element Identifiers 101 (Passenger Reservations Booking Designator Segment Override)/102
(Passenger Reservations Booking Modifier Segment Override)) must be used.
The following rules apply when using Data Element Identifier 101 and Data Element Identifier 102
override facility:

Use
When used in a context where flights are cancelled and/or deleted, the Period of Operation
specifies the period for which the operation is being cancelled.
Applicability of Period of Operation:
Chapters 3,4
Dates refer to departure from origin station
Chapter 6
Dates refer to operation at Clearance/Advice Airport
Chapter 7
Dates refer to departure from leg departure station
Chapters 4 and 7 Applications
The dates always relate to the Scheduled Time of Aircraft Departure (STD) — not the Passenger
STD.
Chapter 7 Application
The Period of Operation relates to each leg of the flight.
Consequently, downline legs of a flight having an STD on the next (or previous) day(s) shall have
the Period of Operation adjusted correspondingly in relation to the Period of Operation on the
first leg.
This adjustment is necessary also in cases where the dates fall outside the applicable Season or
Period of Schedule Validity stated in Record Type 2.
For Chapters 4 and 7 applications also refer to Date Variation.

Other Applications
For ad hoc modifications, inclusive dates are allowed.
Therefore, the start date quoted may be up to six days before the first actual date, and the end
date may be up to six days after the last actual date depending on the Day(s) of Operation related
to the Period of Operation.
In Chapter 7 the adjustment of dates on downline legs departing on the next (or previous) day must
also be applied when using inclusive dates.
The Period of Operation consists of the first date as specified above and the last date as indicated
above.
Apart from Chapter 6 application, either date can be stated as “00XXX00” (the last two characters
being optional in Chapters 3 and 4). In order to maintain a constant Local Time “00XXX00” should
not be used when a Station in the itinerary observes Daylight Saving Time as the conversion from
UTC to LT or LT to UTC will result in incorrect times and, in extreme cases, negative flight times.
When the first date is so specified, the data is effective immediately (in Chapter 7 on the first date
in the Period of Schedule Validity applied to the first leg of the itinerary).

Format
An optional element consisting of eight digits. In the case of Chapter 6, these digits are preceded
by a code defining flight arrival or flight departure.
The first four digits are used for the earliest possible timing, followed by four digits for the latest
possible timing.
Use
Linked flights should always be filed with an arrival and a departure Timing Flexibility Identifier.
If the Operator cannot accept flexibility on one of the two legs, this will be indicated by providing
the same timings in the timing flexibility range as for the slot request, for example, 12351235.
If the Operator has timing flexibility that exceeds the Day(s) of Operation, this can be indicated by
first providing the earliest time possible for the arrival in the first day(s), and then the latest timing
acceptable in the next day(s).
If the result is that the first four digits represent a time later than the time in the next four digits, it
means that the flexibility extends into the next day(s), for example, 12350820.
Chapter 6 Application
Used within the SCR message. Timing Flexibility Identifier is always preceded by a blank space,
then FA and a full stop/period if it refers to the flight arrival time, or FD and a full stop/period if it
refers to the flight departure time. It is positioned after the Passenger Terminal Identifier
(if applicable), or Frequency Rate, or the Service Type if no Frequency Rate applies.
Chapter 6 describes the procedure to be followed when the use of the Timing Flexibility Identifier
results in the maximum message line length being exceeded.

→ Refer to Appendix G for the Traffic Restriction Codes Table.
Default: In the absence of any information to the contrary, it is assumed that any Traffic
Restriction stated applies to all forms of traffic (passenger, cargo, mail) at Board and/or Off Point.
General Traffic Restriction Information
A Traffic Restriction Code allows a carrier to specify:
(a) any restriction on the carriers right to carry traffic
(b) any limitations on the actual carriage of traffic on a segment
Use of Traffic Restriction Overflow indicator ‘Z’ (chapter 7 only)
‘Z’ is used instead of a valid Traffic Restriction when the following circumstances exist:
(a) A different Traffic Restriction applies to passenger, cargo or mail
(b) A Traffic Restriction applies to one or two categories of service only but not to all three
categories
(c) A Traffic Restriction is required on the 12 leg of a flight (leg sequence number >11)
The ‘Z’ indicator is placed in the byte where the Traffic Restriction Code would have been placed.
And in these conditions, the Traffic Restriction code details must be supplied with the appropriate
Data Element Identifier 170-173 in the Segment Data Record (type 4 record):
170 — Traffic Restriction Code Applicable to Passengers only
171 — Traffic Restriction Code Applicable to Cargo/Mail only
172 — Traffic Restriction Code Applicable to Cargo only
173 — Traffic Restriction Code Applicable to Mail only
Note: more than one traffic restriction cannot be applied to a segment for the same category
of service.

CHAPTER 2

Standard Schedules Information Manual
Note: This is not necessary when Traffic Restriction Codes M, Q, T, V, W or X apply to
passengers and Traffic Restriction Codes A, O, A, K, N or Y respectively apply to cargo/mail
because this is assumed. Therefore, only the passenger restriction needs to be specified.
Additional Traffic Restriction Code Information (Chapter 7 only)
Other Data Element Identifiers can be used to either modify how the Traffic Restriction code is
applied to the Segment or to provide free format text relating to the Traffic Restriction Code.
The Data Element Identifiers and related data elements that can be used for these purposes are:
710 — Traffic Restriction Code Qualifier at Board Point
711 — Traffic Restriction Code Qualifier at Off Point
712 — Traffic Restriction Code Qualifier at Board and Off Points
713-799 — Traffic Restriction Code Information — Free Format
The Chapter 7 application is explained below.
Chapter 7 Application
Flights with 1 to 11 legs – bytes 150–160
The Traffic Restriction code is input in the appropriate byte of the 11 byte field in the SSIM Flight
Leg Record (record type 3) starting at byte 150 through and including byte 160.
Each byte from 150 to 160 relates sequentially to the Off Points in the routing, and these bytes
therefore accommodate a flight with 11 non-stop legs.
When the Traffic Restriction applies to all categories of traffic (passenger/cargo/mail) then the
Traffic Restriction Code is placed in the byte that matches the off point on that leg. (Refer to
example).
When the Traffic Restriction is not applicable to all categories of service or a different Traffic
Restriction applies to only some categories, then the Traffic Restriction Overflow Indicator ‘Z’ is
placed in the byte where the Traffic Restriction Code would have been placed. In these
circumstances the Traffic Restriction code is supplied with the appropriate Data Element Identifier
170-173 in the Segment Data Record (type 4 record).
Flights with 12 or more legs
Traffic Restriction Overflow Indicator ‘Z’ is placed in byte 161. When ‘Z’ is used in these
circumstances the Traffic Restriction code is supplied with the appropriate Data Element Identifier
170-173 in the Segment Data Record (type 4 records).
Chapter 7 Application Examples
For details of longer Flight Routings refer to Chapter H.

It is recommended that the stations served by a flight be specified either by using the Location Identifier or the full name.
The specification of country names therefore becomes unnecessary, but if country names are specified, they should be
based on ISO Standard 3166 as reflected in Appendix F.

Data Elements Required
In order to ensure correct interpretation of schedule information in printed format, a minimum data
element requirement must be observed.
The following data elements are considered essential and they shall be present in any printed
schedule according to format requirements outlined in Chapter 2:
Flight Designator (Airline Designator and Flight Number)
Period of Operation
Day(s) of Operation (frequency)
Service Type
Aircraft Type
Aircraft Configuration/Version and/or Passenger Reservations Booking Designator
Stations, Passenger Terminal (if applicable), Scheduled Times of Aircraft Departure and Arrival
(leg information)
Other data elements may be included at the discretion of the carrier. It is recommended that such
optional items follow the coding and formatting rules for Chapter 4 applications.
Flights and their data elements may be presented horizontally or vertically as shown in examples
of Section 3.6.
It is desirable to highlight changes to the previous issue.

3.4

Code Sharing Flights
It is recommended that a black diamond (u) symbol be used to denote code sharing flights, or
flight legs, in printed time tables. These are flights, or flight legs, which are either physically
operated under a different Flight Designator by another carrier, or under another carrier's Flight
Designator.
It is also recommended, in order to help clarification for readers of printed timetables, that the
carrier physically operating such flights, and/or franchise/commuter type flights, is identified. This
may be accomplished by using the operating carrier's Airline Designator after the symbol, or by
having a table at the beginning of the timetable identifying, by Flight Designator range, who the
operating carriers are.
In cases where disclosure of Aircraft Owner/Wet Lease Airline is a legal requirement, the same
principles can be used.

3.5

Plane Change
It is recommended that a symbol or plain text be used to show when a change of aircraft en route
is required on a multi-leg flight. If a symbol is used, it is recommended that it be an open
triangle (r), and its purpose should be described at the beginning of the time table.

Standard Schedules Message Procedure

4.1

Introduction
In order to allow all airlines to electronically exchange information on amendments to their basic
schedules, i.e. the planned and regularly operated flights, standard message formats have been
agreed.
These formats also allow the airlines to submit these amendments to schedule aggregators.
The message formats have been designed to provide as much clarity as possible for the message
users and the received message details can be processed either by computer or by manual
methods.
Permanent changes to the basic schedules are transmitted using the Standard Schedules
Message (SSM).
A message may consist of one or more Action sub-messages. Each sub-message will have its own
Action Identifier to identify a specific change being made to the basic schedule.
The rules for the use and composition of this message, together with detailed specifications and
examples, are explained in the following Sections of this Chapter.
Deviations from the basic schedules on single days may be transmitted in the Ad Hoc Schedule
Message (ASM). The rules for the use and composition of this message, together with detailed
specifications and examples, are explained in Chapter 5.
The Standard Schedules Message (SSM) forms part of a complex system of timetable information
exchange.
In order to facilitate industry-wide acceptance of these standards, a range of optional features is
included to ensure complete compatibility with the standards set in Chapter 7 for the exchange of
computerized schedules.
These features include items such as the use of local dates and times, leg and segment oriented
traffic, and sales information in the form of fixed or free format data elements.

4.2

Principles and Rules
In order to ensure full interline exchangeability, it is strongly recommended that airlines adhere to
the rules for the construction of the standard messages as described in this Chapter.
The common rules for the data elements as described in Chapter 2 of this Manual should also be
followed.
• The SSM exchange usually takes place on the basis of bilateral understanding.
• The schedules advised in the SSM are generally considered released and open for sale with
effect from the issuance of the message.
• The addresses of the SSM are bilaterally agreed. The SSM may contain a number of Flight
Designators for any one carrier (represented by a unique Airline Designator) and multiple
periods of validity. It is the responsibility of the recipient to select the areas of the schedule that
meet their own requirements.
• The information received by SSM supersedes any corresponding information (within the
definitions of the Action Identifiers) previously advised by computerized schedules or SSM.
• For the purpose of synchronisation with computerized schedules data sets, it is recommended
that a computer generated time stamp be used in the message envelope.
• The schedules advised by SSM will not normally override any changes that have previously
been advised by Ad Hoc Schedules Message (ASM). Therefore, the Periods of Operation can
be quoted irrespective of any existing ad hoc changes. These ad hoc changes will remain in
effect unless modified by another Ad Hoc Schedules Message or unless the ASM Withdrawal
Indicator has been used.
• The periods of validity need not conform to discrete IATA seasons and can give open-ended
Periods of Operation. This will result in a reduction in the number and length of messages.

It is recommended that at least 360 days of advance schedules data, including Minimum
Connect Time data, should be distributed on an equal basis to all schedule aggregators,
reservations and ticketing systems in which a carrier participates, to maximise the efficiencies
of such systems.
It must be assumed that some recipients will convert the contents of the SSM from UTC to
local dates/times and vice versa. The UTC/local time relationship must therefore be based on
the current information in Appendix F and any subsequent updates transmitted by message.
If the (time) relation used is different or doubtful, it should be stated using Data Element
Identifier 97 (UTC/Local Time Variation Specification).
Where a series of interrelated messages are to be sent, each part message must conform to
the rules for constructing SSM messages, but must be shown as a part message by means of
the Message Sequence Reference.
If a Flight Leg(s) Change Identifier in a sub-message does not match the routing of the flight(s)
being changed, that sub-message may be ignored by the recipient.
If a Segment on a line of a sub-message does not match a Segment of the flight(s) being
changed, that line of the sub-message may be ignored by the recipient.
If a change or cancellation is received for which the period and/or days of operation to be
changed/cancelled do not match those stored, or a new flight is added which is already stored,
it is recommended that the correct schedule information should be requested from the sender,
e.g. by use of SSM/RSD sub-message.
The ACK/NAC exchange takes place on the basis of bilateral agreement.
It is assumed that it is the responsibility of the SSM sender to ensure that they receive an ACK
or a NAC and take the appropriate action if they do not.

4.3

Message Standards

4.3.1

Introduction
The technical specifications for message construction are based on the guidelines of the ATA/IATA
Systems and Communications Reference Manuals.
The standard message is enclosed within the standard communications “envelope”, i.e. signal
identifiers, serial number, priority, address, originator and date/time of transmission.
The message will then read line by line by always starting at the left, i.e. left justified. For Type B
messages, the maximum line length of the message must not exceed 69 printable characters
including spaces. Some systems may restrict line length limits to less than 69 characters.
Although the Systems and Communications Reference Manual defines the maximum number of
characters for one telegraph (Type B) message as 3,840, some service providers have the
capability to increase this limit to 64,000 characters.
Type B users are, however, cautioned that some systems may not be able to receive or process
messages with more than 3,840 characters.
This maximum length limitation takes into account all printed and non-printed characters, such as
letter shifts, figure shifts and new line.
In the extreme case of a Flight, Period/Frequency, Equipment or Leg Information line overflow, the
excess elements should be stated on an additional line immediately following and must start with a
Data Element Identifier.
When the message limit is exceeded, messages must be broken into separate parts with a break
between two sub-messages. Use can be made of the Message Sequence Reference to connect
the related parts of the total message.

Standard Schedules Message Procedure
4.3.2

Security of Message Exchanges
To secure the exchange of SSMs between computers, it is recommended that the following
techniques be used:
• Sequence all SSMs using the Message Sequence Reference;
• Process all SSMs in the same order as they are produced, according to the Message
Sequence Reference;
• Request the re-transmission of a missing SSM using a “REPEAT” message:
SSM
REP
‹Message Sequence Reference›
An “REP” message is sent by the receiver to inform the sender that a message has not been
received. The SSM originator will identify the missing message by its Message Sequence
Reference and will re-transmit the original message identified with original Message Sequence
Reference and with the same data content.
• Inform the receiver of the last message sent within the current date of issue using an “END”
message:
SSM
REP
‹Message Sequence Reference›
The “END” message is designed to close the current sequence of messages before opening
another one. It will allow recovery with an “REP” of the last message of the current sequence if
this message has not been received. The Message Group Serial Number of the “END” message
will be the previous Message Group Serial Number incremented by 1. The “END” message is
unique for each date of issue.

4.3.3

SSM Composition
Each SSM message consists of 5 major components:
• Message address/originator in accordance with communications instructions;
• Message Header including the Schedule Standard Message Identifier (SSM), the Time Mode
and an optional Message Reference;
• One or more Action Sub-Messages that always include the Action Identifier, the flight
identification and appropriate data elements, and always ends with a Sub-Message separator;
• An optional Supplementary Information Sub-Message applicable to the whole message;
• Message End in accordance with communications instructions.
The SSM Action Sub-Messages are defined in Section 4.4.
The general technical specifications for SSM message construction are defined in Section 4.5.
The SSM Action Sub-Message composition and examples are defined in Section 4.6.

4.4

SSM Action Sub-Messages
The SSM Action Sub-Messages are an integral part of the SSM. The most widely used SubMessages with their Action Identifier, name and their functional use are:
NEW

Insertion of New Flight Information
This sub-message inserts a new Flight Designator or adds new Periods of Operation
and/or new Day(s) of Operation (at the Frequency Rate, if stated) for an existing Flight
Designator. When used in conjunction with an SKD sub-message, the data contained
in the NEW submessage supersedes the data, if any, for the period specified by its
associated SKD sub-message.
CNL
Cancellation
This sub-message cancels (i.e. withdraws) the complete routing of a Flight Designator
within the Period and on the Day(s) of Operation (and at the Frequency Rate, if stated).
RPL
Replacement of Existing Flight Information
This sub-message replaces all existing information pertaining to a Flight Designator
within the Period and on the Day(s) of Operation (at the Frequency Rate, if stated) by
the new information. Other Periods and other Day(s) of Operation during the period
stated (if existing) are not affected. The extension of periods and/or the addition of days
of operation are not permitted using RPL sub-messages.
SKD
Schedule Update
This sub-message cancels all existing information for the Flight Designator specified
from the Schedule Validity Effective Date as specified to (and including) the Schedule
Validity Discontinue Date, if stated.
It indicates that revised schedule information, if any, will follow immediately in one or
more associated sub-messages using Action Identifier NEW.
This Action Identifier may only occur once in a message, or a series of messages
linked by Message Sequence Reference, and when used, must occur as the first action
sub-message in the group of linked messages. It must be followed only by NEW submessages with the same Flight Designator.
Other SSM Action Sub-Message with their Action Identifier, name and functional use are:
ACK
Acknowledgement
This sub-message advises the sender that the message content has been accepted by
the receiving system and has been successfully processed.
It is recommended that ACK messages are not sent when the message first
arrives with the recipient – but when the message has been successfully passed
through the recipients system and processed correctly.
ADM
Change of Existing Information Expressed by the Use of Data Element Identifier
Only
For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub
message changes only those data elements which are specified by the use of a Data
Element Identifier.
• Other Periods of Operation/Day(s) of Operation remain unchanged
• When cancelling existing information the statement ‘NIL’ must be made
• If changes are leg related, replacement data need only be transmitted for legs
where the data has changed. For example, in the case of Data Element
Identifier 10, it is not necessary to transmit all legs that have Data Element
Identifier 10 information, only those legs where DEI 10 needs changing

Change of Aircraft Configuration/Version
For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub
message changes only the Aircraft configuration Version information and/or the
conditional data elements (if supplied) that can be transmitted in this type of message.
• Other Periods of Operation/Day(s) of Operation remain unchanged
• Data Elements previously transmitted and therefore already held in a recipients
system and not included in the message remain unchanged
Change of Equipment Information
For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub
message changes only the Equipment information and/or the conditional data elements
(if supplied) that can be transmitted in this type of message.
• Other Periods of Operation/Day(s) of Operation remain unchanged
• Data Elements previously transmitted and therefore already held in a recipients
system and not included in the message remain unchanged
Change of Flight Designator
This sub-message only changes the Flight Designator (and its associated data
elements) and/or the Operational Suffix, for the Period and Day(s) of Operation (at the
Frequency Rate, if stated).
Other data elements, Periods and Day(s) of Operation of the original Flight Designator
and Operational Suffix are not affected.
Not Actioned
This sub-message advises the sender of the original message that the message
content has not been successfully processed in the recipients system. The NAC
message will contain a text message that explains the reason for the error and include
the line number(s) in the message where the error has occurred.
It is recommended that in the case of a format error only one reason for error is
displayed. Format errors are likely to cause a corrupted message that cannot be
validated further. In the case of a validation error, some receiving systems may advise
when more than one validation error has occurred.
Users are advised to research the complete message before re-sending the message.
A list of error messages currently in use and their text structure can be found in
Appendix E.
Revision of Period of Operation and/or Day(s) of Operation
This sub-message only changes the Period of Operation and/or Day(s) of Operation
(at the Frequency Rate, if stated) within a Flight Designator. REV may only be used
when there is no change of equipment, routing and timings within the Period of
Operation and/or on the Day(s) of Operation being revised.
By stating the Period of Operation and Day(s) of Operation to be changed, and then
the revised Period(s) of Operation and Day(s) of Operation, additions and deletions can
be made.
A Period of Operation can be extended and/or Day(s) of Operation be added by the
use of REV provided that they did not exist before and that there is no change of
equipment, routing and timing data.
A Period of Operation can be shortened and/or Day(s) of Operation be deleted by
replacing the old data with the revised data and accepting that periods and/or days not
referred to in the revised data are implicitly cancelled.
A REV sub-message can combine additions and deletions providing that there is no
change of equipment, routing and timing data.

4.5

Request for Schedule Data
This sub-message enables a Request or Repeat of schedule data for the Flight
Designator specified from the Schedule Validity Effective Date as specified to (and
including) the Schedule Validity Discontinue Date, if stated.
The reply to an RSD message must always begin with an SKD sub-message, followed
by any associated NEW sub-messages.
The action identifier RSD may not be used in a message with any other action
identifiers.
The reply to any SSM containing RSD sub-messages must be addressed to the
specific telegraphic address from which the RSD sub-message was originated unless
otherwise bilaterally agreed.
Change of Time Information
For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub
message changes only the Timing information and/or the conditional data elements
(if supplied) that can be transmitted in this type of message.
• Other Periods of Operation/Day(s) of Operation remain unchanged
• Data Elements previously transmitted and therefore already held in a recipients
system and not included in the message remain unchanged.

Technical Message Specification
The logical structure (i.e. message specification) for the SSM is defined in the table below and
includes the status, format description and example for each data element.
Reference should be made to the Data Element Glossary in Chapter 2 (Section 2.6) for the exact
composition and detailed descriptions of each data element used in the SSMs.
Data expressed by Data Element Identifiers in connection with all Action Identifiers except NEW,
CNL, RPL remain unchanged from previously supplied data. Where desired, removal of such data
is achieved by specification of text “NIL” using Action Identifier ADM.
Certain elements may have a different meaning depending on their position within the message. It
is recommended that caution be taken in the use of these elements to avoid the exchange of
ambiguous or contradictory information.
This applies to the following elements:
• Joint Operation Airline Designators
• Operating Airline Disclosure — Code Share
• Aircraft Owner
• Cockpit Crew Employer
• Cabin Crew Employer
• Onward Flight
• Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation.

Ad Hoc Schedules Message Procedure

5.1

Introduction
In order to allow all airlines to electronically exchange information on a deviation from their basic
schedule, standard message formats have been agreed. These formats also allow the airlines to
submit these amendments to schedule aggregators.
The message formats have been designed to provide as much clarity as possible for the message
users and the received message details can be processed either by computer or by manual
methods.
Deviations from the basic schedules, such as an addition of a supplementary or an extra flight,
change to a single operation of an existing flight in routing, timing, equipment or other data and
cancellation of a flight are transmitted using the Ad-Hoc Schedules Message (ASM).
A message may consist of one or more Action sub-messages. Each sub-message will have its own
Action Identifier to identify a specific change being made to the basic schedule.
The rules for the use and composition of this message, together with detailed specifications and
examples, are explained in the following Sections of this Chapter.
Amendments to the basic schedule may be transmitted in the Standard Schedule Message (SSM).
The rules for the use and composition of this message, together with detailed specifications and
examples, are explained in Chapter 4.
The Ad-Hoc Schedules Message (ASM) forms part of a complex system of timetable information
exchange. The design of the message is based on the philosophy that a flight is recognised by the
Flight Identifier, i.e. the combination of the Flight Designator and the Flight Identifier Date.
The ASM applies to long term ad-hoc modifications of schedules (generally resulting from
schedules or operational planning) as well as short-term operational decisions that affect flight
schedules.
For reporting of operational events, such as delays and actual movements not affecting schedules,
reference should be made to the procedures defined in the IATA Airport Handling Manual (AHM).
In order to facilitate industry-wide acceptance of these standards, a range of optional features is
included to ensure complete compatibility with the standards set in Chapter 7 for the exchange of
computerized schedules and with the Standard Schedules Message set in Chapter 4.
These optional features include such items as the use of local dates and times, leg and segment
oriented traffic and sales information.

5.2

Principles and Rules
In order to ensure full interline exchangeability, it is strongly recommended that airlines adhere to
the rules for the construction of the standard messages as described in this Chapter.
The common rules for the data elements as described in Chapter 2 of this Manual should also be
followed.
• The ASM exchange usually takes place on the basis of bilateral understanding.
• The ASM may be issued at any time prior to the actual departure from the station concerned. It
shall be regarded as a firm amendment to the basic schedules except for punctuality rules that
may vary from airline to airline.
• The addressees of the ASM are selected at the originator's discretion and will normally be
limited to the parties directly concerned.
• Any schedules or changes advised by ASM cannot be modified by subsequent computerized
schedule data sets or SSM (unless the ASM Withdrawal Indicator has been used).
A facility exists, however, to withdraw an ASM modification by re-establishing the original flight
data or status with the appropriate action identifier and with a special Change Reason Code
(RTNS).

Standard Schedules Information Manual
•

•
•

•
•

Any bilaterally agreed use of local dates and times must be based on the current information in
SSIM Appendix F and any updates to it by message.
If the relation used is different or doubtful, it should be stated using Data Element Identifier 97
(UTC/Local Time Variation Specification).
If a Flight Leg(s) Change Identifier in a sub-message does not match the routing of the flight(s)
being changed, that sub-message may be ignored by the recipient.
If a Segment on a line of a sub-message does not match a Segment of the flight(s) being
changed, that line of the sub-message may be ignored by the recipient.
If a change or cancellation is received where the period and/or days of operation to be
changed/cancelled do not match those stored, or a new flight is added that is already stored, it
is recommended that the correct schedule information should be requested from the sender,
e.g. by use of SSM/RSD.
The ACK/NAC exchange takes place on the basis of bilateral agreement.
It is assumed that it is the responsibility of the ASM sender to ensure that they receive an ACK
or a NAC and take the appropriate action if not.

5.3

Message Standards

5.3.1

Introduction
The technical specifications for message construction are based on the guidelines of the ATA/IATA
Systems and Communications Reference Manuals (SCR).
The standard message is enclosed within the standard communications “envelope”, i.e. signal
identifiers, serial number, priority, address, originator and date/time of transmission.
The message will then read line by line by always starting at the left, i.e. left justified. For Type B
messages, the maximum line length of the message must not exceed 69 printable characters
including spaces. Some systems may restrict line length limits to less than 69 characters.
Although the Systems and Communications Reference Manual defines the maximum number of
characters for one telegragh (Type B) message as 3,840, some service providers have the
capability to increase this limit to 64,000 characters.
Type B users are, however, cautioned that some systems may not be able to receive or process
messages with more than 3,840 characters.
This maximum length limitation takes into account all printed and non-printed characters, such as
letter shifts, figure shifts and new line.
In the extreme case of a Flight, Aircraft or Leg Information line overflow, the excess elements
should be stated on an additional line immediately following and must start with a Data Element
Identifier.
When the message limit is exceeded, messages must be broken into separate parts with a Break
between two sub-messages. Use can be made of the Message Sequence Reference to connect
the related parts of the total message.

5.3.2

Security of Message Exchanges
To secure the exchange of ASMs between computers, it is recommended that the following
techniques be used:
• Sequence all ASMs using the Message Sequence Reference;
• Process all ASMs in the same order as they are produced, according to the Message
Sequence Reference;

Ad Hoc Schedules Message Procedure
•

•

5.3.3

Request the re-transmission of a missing ASM using a “REPEAT” message:
ASM
REP
‹Message Sequence Reference›
An “REP” message is sent by the receiver to inform the sender that a message has not been
received. The ASM originator will identify the missing message by its Message Sequence
Reference and will re-transmit the original message identified with original Message Sequence
Reference and with the same data content.
Inform the receiver of the last message sent within the current date of issue using an “END”
message:
ASM
REP
‹Message Sequence Reference›
The “END” message is designed to close the current sequence of messages before opening
another one. It will allow recovery with an “REP” of the last message of the current sequence if
this message has not been received. The Message Group Serial Number of the “END” message
will be the previous Message Group Serial Number incremented by 1. The “END” message is
unique for each date of issue.

ASM Composition
Each ASM message consists of consists of 5 major components:
• Message address/originator in accordance with communications instructions;
• Message Header including the Ad-Hoc Schedules Message Identifier (ASM), the Time Mode
and an optional Creator Reference;
• One or more Action Sub-Messages that always include one or two the Action Identifiers, the
flight identification and appropriate data elements, and always ends with a Sub-Message
separator;
• An optional Supplementary Information Sub-Message applicable to the whole message;
• Message End in accordance with communications instructions.
The ASM Action Sub-messages are defined in Section 5.4.
The general technical specifications for ASM message construction are defined in Section 5.5.
The ASM Action Sub-Message composition and examples are defined in Section 5.6.

5.4

ASM Action Sub-Messages
The ASM Action Sub-Messages are an integral part of the ASM.
The following action sub-messages can be used in the composition of an ASM message.

CHAPTER 5
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

Insertion of New Flight Information
This sub-message inserts a new flight defined by a Flight Identifier that has previously
not existed or had been cancelled.
Cancellation
This sub-message cancels (i.e. declares as not operating), but retains as part of the
basic schedule, one or more flights or parts of flight(s) defined by the Flight Identifier(s)
(and Flight Leg Change Identifier, if applicable).

169

Standard Schedules Information Manual

RPL

ACK

ADM

170

It is recommended that the facility to cancel part of a flight (using ASM/CNL with a
Flight Leg Change Identifier) is confined to the operational phase of the flight only since
a partial cancellation may lead to a Flight Designator duplication problem if the first leg
or a middle leg of a flight is cancelled.
Partial cancellations would normally be communicated unambiguously using ASM/RPL.
Reinstatement
This sub-message reinstates (i.e. declares as now operating again in the form and with
the data in existence prior to the issuance of the last appropriate ASM/CNL messages)
one or more flights or parts of the routing defined by Flight Identifier(s) and previously
cancelled by an ASM/CNL sub-message.
Any subsequent changes to the flight (e.g. routing, times, equipment) must be handled
by an appropriate sub-message.
Replacement of Existing Flight Information
This sub-message replaces all information pertaining to an existing flight defined by a
Flight Identifier by the new information.
If only specific information has to be replaced, the following Action Identifiers can be
used instead of the complete RPL message.
Acknowledgement
This sub-message advises the sender that the message content has been accepted by
the receiving system and has been successfully processed.
It is recommended that ACK messages are not sent when the message first arrives
with the recipient — but when the message has been successfully passed through the
recipients system and processed correctly.
Change of Existing Information Expressed by the Use of Data Element Identifier
Only
For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub
message changes only those data elements which are specified by the use of a Data
Element Identifier.
• Other Periods of Operation/Day(s) of Operation remain unchanged
• When cancelling existing information the statement ‘NIL’ must be made
• If changes are leg related, replacement data need only be transmitted for legs
where the data has changed. For example, in the case of Data Element Identifier
10, it is not necessary to transmit all legs that have Data Element Identifier 10
information, only those legs where DEI 10 needs changing
Note: When using multiple Action Identifiers, all formats for the combinations and,
therefore, processing rules, are determined by the primary Action Identifier.
Qualifying as secondary Action Identifiers are those that form a subset of the primary
Action Identifier.
Combinations with conflicting formats are not permitted, e.g. TIM-EQT. The secondary
Action Identifier is intended for information purposes only i.e. human reading and
understanding of changes.
Consequently, the following combinations are permitted:

Change of Aircraft Configuration/Version
For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub
message changes only the Aircraft configuration Version information and/or the
conditional data elements (if supplied) that can be transmitted in this type of message.
• Other Periods of Operation/Day(s) of Operation remain unchanged
• Data Elements previously transmitted and therefore already held in a recipients
system and not included in the message remain unchanged
Change of Equipment Information
For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub
message changes only the Equipment information and/or the conditional data elements
(if supplied) that can be transmitted in this type of message.
• Other Periods of Operation/Day(s) of Operation remain unchanged
• Data Elements previously transmitted and therefore already held in a recipients
system and not included in the message remain unchanged
Change of Flight Identifier
This sub-message only changes the Flight Designator (and its associated data
elements), and/or the Operational Suffix, for the Flight Identifier Date (and part of the
routing, if stated). Other data elements, dates, and parts of the routing of the original
Flight Designator and Operational Suffix are not affected.
Not Actioned
This sub-message advises the sender of the original message that the message
content has not been successfully processed in the recipients system. The NAC
message will contain a text message that explains the reason for the error and include
the line number(s) in the message where the error has occurred.
It is recommended that, for a format error only, one reason for the error is displayed.
Format errors are likely to cause a corrupted message that cannot be validated further.
For a validation error, some receiving systems may advise when more than one
validation error has occurred.
Users are advised to research the complete message before re-sending the message.
A list of error messages currently in use and their text structure can be found in
Appendix E.
Change of Routing
This sub-message changes only routing information (and its associated data elements)
of a flight defined by a Flight Identifier.
The new routing must contain at least one Station from the previous routing. Stations
common to both the previous and the new routings must appear in the same sequence.

171

Standard Schedules Information Manual

TIM

5.5

The new routing, including timings, must be stated for all uncompleted legs of the flight.
In order to avoid ambiguity regarding operational flights or flights scheduled to be in the
operational phase, the Flight Leg(s) Change Identifier must be used to identify the flight
leg(s) to be replaced by the schedule stated in the RRT message. If any of the above
rules cannot be met then RPL must be used. For planning purposes, it is
recommended that RPL be used.
Change of Time Information
For a specific Flight designator/Period of Operation and day(s) of Operation this sub
message changes only the Timing information and/or the conditional data elements
(if supplied) that can be transmitted in this type of message.
• Other Periods of Operation/Day(s) of Operation remain unchanged
• Data Elements previously transmitted and therefore already held in a recipients
system and not included in the message remain unchanged

Technical Specification
The following describes the logical structure of the ASM giving the status and format description for
each data element.
Further reference should be made to Chapter 2 for detailed description of the data elements.
Where two Action Identifiers have been used, the status of the data element shall be the greater of
the two specified in the technical specification, i.e.
• if either is Mandatory, it shall be Mandatory;
• if either is Conditional, and neither is Mandatory, it shall be Conditional;
• if neither is Mandatory or Conditional, and either is Optional, it shall be Optional.
Data expressed by Data Element Identifiers in connection with all Action Identifiers except NEW,
CNL, RPL remain unchanged from previously supplied data.
Where desired, removal of such data is achieved by specification of text “NIL” using Action
Identifier ADM.

5.6

Technical Message Specification
The logical structure (i.e. message specification) for the ASM is defined in the table below and
includes the status, format description and example for each data element.
Reference should be made to the Data Element Glossary in Chapter 2 (Section 2.6) for the exact
composition and detailed descriptions of each data element used in the ASMs.
Certain elements may have a different meaning depending on their position within the message. It
is recommended that caution be taken in the use of these elements to avoid the exchange of
ambiguous or contradictory information.
This applies to the following elements:
• Joint Operation Airline Designators
• Operating Airline Disclosure — Code Share
• Aircraft Owner
• Cockpit Crew Employer
• Cabin Crew Employer
• Onward Flight
• Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation

Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement Procedures

6.1

Introduction
The IATA Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines (WSG) contains a set of procedures and time frames
to provide guidance for the management of the allocation of scarce resources at busy airports.
Such airports are designated as being either a Coordinated Airport (Level 3) or a Schedules
Facilitated Airport (Level 2).
The set of procedures have been agreed as recommended industry practices to be used by
airlines, airport coordinators (coordinators) and schedules facilitators to facilitate the allocation of
the scarce airport resources.
The set of procedures apply to the following functional areas:
• Airport Coordination (Level 3 airports);
• Schedule Movements (Level 2 airports);
• Slot and Schedule Information Requests (Level 2 and 3 airports);
• Outstanding Requests (Level 2 and 3 airports).
Standard message formats have been agreed to allow airlines, airport coordinators (coordinators)
and schedules facilitators to exchange airport coordination and schedule movement information
electronically.
The message formats are integrated into an iterative (sequential) set of request and reply
messages and have been designed to provide as much clarity as possible for the message users.
The received message details can be processed either by computer or by manual methods.
The rules for the use and composition of the messages, together with detailed specifications and
examples, are explained in the following Sections of this Chapter.
The IATA Slot Clearance Request/Response Form (SCR Form) has been traditionally used as a
guideline for the creation of the Airport Coordination and Schedule Movement message formats.
Since the composition of the SCR Form is no longer compatible with the defined message
specifications in this SSIM Chapter, it is recommended that the current SCR Form be only used as
a Schedules Conference document.
A copy of the current SCR Form used as a Schedules Conference document is included in the
IATA Worldwide Scheduling Guidelines (WSG).
Note: Airport coordination and schedule movement information submitted to coordinators or
schedules facilitators may be different from the information used for open for sale purposes and/or
for filings with Government Authorities.
It is intended that the information obtained from the message standards defined in this Chapter
should only be used for Airport Coordination and Schedule Movement purposes.
For more information on the IATA Schedules Conferences and Airport Coordination procedures,
refer to the IATA Scheduling Services website at www.iata.org/sked/.
A copy of the WSG may be downloaded from this website.
The list of the Level 3 and Level 2 airports is included in the WSG.

6.2

Principles and Rules
It is strongly recommended that airlines, coordinators or schedules facilitators adhere to the rules
for the construction of the standard messages as described in this Chapter.
The common rules for the data elements as described in Chapter 2 of this Manual should also be
followed.
• All dates, days and times are in UTC.
However, while the standard is UTC, airlines and coordinators may, on a bilateral basis,
exchange information in Local Time.

CHAPTER 6
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

Standard Schedules Information Manual

226

The messages may contain schedule data defined by either period/season (flights with regular
frequency) or by single dates (individual flights). Both formats are described in this chapter.
They can be used jointly or separately.
Period of Operation may not be open-ended (use of “00XXX” as start or end dates is not
permitted).
An SCR/SMA message must include data relevant to the Level 3 or Level 2 airport for flights
that commence or finish outside the Period of Operation or Season.
The Period of Operation will always reflect the day/time of operation at the airport where the
clearance request/movement advice has been made.
→ For further guidance, refer to Appendix H: Clearance/Movement Advice for Flights Partly out
of Scheduling Season.
Coordinators will respond to slot allocation requests within a period of 3 business days.
Unless stated otherwise, clearance offers from coordinators to the airlines are valid for
3 business days only.
If an airline has not accepted the offer within the 3-day time limit, the coordinator will cancel the
offer.
When an airport is coordinated for runway movements only, the Aircraft Group Code for
Aircraft Types (SSIM Appendix A) may be used; but, where apron occupancy and/or terminal
capacity are coordinated, the Aircraft Type code must be specified and Transit/Turnaround
format shall be used — unless otherwise agreed.
When requesting slot allocations by an SCR or submitting schedule movements (SMA) for ‘full
season’ operations with less than daily frequency, it is recommended that airlines use the start
and finish dates of the Season even if these are not the actual dates of operation.
However, when the Frequency Rate is used to indicate that a flight operates at fortnightly
intervals (every 2 weeks), the start date of the Period of Operation must be the first date that
the flight operates, and the end date must be the last date that flight operates.
For a given flight designator and date at a specific station, there can only be one scheduled
arrival and/or one scheduled departure time cleared or advised.
If, for planning or ad-hoc operational reasons, the same Flight Designator is used on the same
UTC day/date, one flight should be filed using the Operational Suffix ‘Z’.
Whenever a flight is filed with an Operational Suffix, this flight should retain the Operational
Suffix in all future Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement messages. This should be
provided even when schedule changes may mean that the Operational Suffix would normally
no longer be required.
If there is a significant risk that the need to use Operational Suffices will recur, or if an
Operational Suffix is needed for an entire period, it is advisable to use different Flight
Designators for these flights.
Airlines should ensure that once the Operational Suffix is used, it should be maintained in their
scheduling system.
When a coordinator requires filings as turnarounds or when airlines elect to file flights as
turnarounds (i.e. arrival and departure in a single data record), any modifications pertaining to
either the arrival or departure require all unchanged elements to be repeated in order to
maintain the turnaround link.
Flights that are not turnaround flights (positioning to a hangar and then repositioning later to a
gate) or flights for which no dedicated link can be given (e.g. flights of airlines at their home
base) should be filed using separate arrival and departure formats.
If flights are originally filed using an overmidnight indicator, any subsequent change should
again be filed using the turnaround format.

CHAPTER 6

Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement Procedures

•

•

•

6.2.1

If existing clearances have been recorded by the coordinator as turnaround flights with historic
rights, airlines may request a coordinator to provide individual records for the arrival and for the
departure flight, i.e. unlink the (turnaround) flights.
This procedure allow airlines to exchange parameters between flights and to maintain the
historic rights to the flights. Requests to unlink historic flights are undertaken on a bilateral
basis between airlines and coordinators and must be submitted to the coordinator before the
deadline for the distribution of the Historic and Non-Historic Allocation List (SHL) to the airline.
An airline may decide that the response message from a coordinator should be sent to a
message address that is different from where the (airline) request message was sent to the
airport coordinator.
This may be undertaken on a bilateral basis and it is the responsibility of the airline to ensure
that the coordinators are fully aware of the situation.
Coordinators will normally respond to all originating message addresses of the requesting
airline.
If an airline is unable to attend the Schedules Conference, he should reply to the Slot
Preliminary Allocation List (SAL message) prior to the Conference.
If the coordinator has responded with more than one offer for a specific request, the airline
should indicate which offer is being accepted.
Although the standards and formats used in this Chapter were initially designed for use with
Type B messages, all the standards and formats are applicable to the use of E-mails, computer
printouts, Web data displays and any other media. Some additional standards apply when
using E-mail (see 6.2.1 below).
Plain text files should be used and must not contain any special formatting information.
Each text file should contain information for only one airport, the standard message headings
should appear before schedule information lines, and supplementary information should
continue to be indicated by using SI or GI lines as applicable.
When using Type B messages, the maximum line lengths and maximum message lengths
constraints must be followed. However, when using other media, there is no requirement to
split data lines or messages into separate parts.

Using E-mail for Messages
The standards and formats used in this Chapter apply when using E-mail for sending messages. In
addition, when using E-mail, the following apply:

Plain Text
Only plain text should be used in the message.
No special characters or formatting information should be used in the message.

No Attachments
There should be no attachments to the message.
The message formatted according to this Chapter should be placed directly in the E-mail body.

Headers
There should be no non-standard text before the information in the body of the message.
The E-mail body must start with the standard format header.
The E-mail body must be according to the standard format.
When using E-mail the E-mail address of the originator must be specified in the Creator
Reference Line. See section 6.4.2 for details.

6.4

Message Standards

6.4.1

Introduction and Message Composition
A standard Airport Coordination and Schedule Movement procedure message represents the
lowest unit of complete information that may be exchanged between an originator and a recipient
for a predetermined purpose.
The technical specifications for message construction are based on the guidelines of the ATA/IATA
Systems and Communications Reference Manuals (SCR).
These specifications are common to all schedule message types.
The message formats may be used by computerised users (i.e. airlines, coordinators and
schedules facilitators). The formats may also be used as compatible computer printouts, in text
files and in e-mail messages as well as being adapted for SSIM applications as electronic and
teletype messages. Some additional standards apply when using E-mail for messages (see 6.2.1
above).
The standard message is enclosed within the standard communications “envelope”, i.e. signal
identifiers, serial number, priority, address, originator and date/time of transmission.
The airport coordination/schedule movement message will then read line by line by always starting
at the left, i.e. left justified.
For Type B messages, the maximum line length of the message must not exceed 69 printable
characters including spaces. Some systems may restrict line length limits to less than 69 characters.
When the maximum line length limit may be exceeded, the line may be extended to an additional
data line that always starts with a slash (/) followed by a space.
The line may only be broken at points where the message format requires a space.
Although the Systems and Communications Reference Manual defines the maximum number of
characters for one telegragh (Type B) message as 3,840, some service providers have the
capability to increase this limit to 64,000 characters.
Type B users are, however, cautioned that some systems may not be able to receive or process
messages with more than 3,840 characters.
This maximum length limitation takes into account all printed and non-printed characters, such as
letter shifts, figure shifts and new line. Longer messages should be divided into separate parts.
Submission of more than one type of message in one transmission is not permitted.

CHAPTER 6
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

231

Standard Schedules Information Manual
It is recommended that no more than 20 data lines be transmitted in one message.
Each functional message consists of 4 major components:
• Message Header including the Standard Message Identifier (SMI);
• Schedule Information Lines (or basic data lines);
• Additional Schedule Information Lines (or additional data lines);
• Message Footer.
The general composition of a standard message together with general values/examples is shown
in the Table below. This is followed by a detailed description of each of the components.
The Mandatory End of Line Indicator for the Message Header and Message Footer is included as
“<≡”.

Creator Reference Line
The Creator Reference line is used to indicate one or more of the following:
1. If the message is in Local Time
2. Special Handling indication
3. Acknowledgement from coordinator
4. Reference information from the originator
5. E-mail address of the originator which is required if the message is sent via e-mail.
If any of the above are to be indicated they must be indicated in the relative order shown in one
line. For example, if the message is in Local Time then the Local Time indication must be at the
beginning of the line. Similarly, if the e-mail address of the originator is specified it must be at the
end of the line. No Creator Reference line is needed if none of the above are to be indicated.
If the message is in Local Time, this must be indicated using a double slash and should appear as
“//LT”. The “//LT” is used to indicate that all dates and times in the message are in Local Time.
If Special Handling is to be indicated, this is done using a double slash and should appear as
“//SWAP”, “//BLOCK”, or “//OUTREQ”.
When used by a coordinator to acknowledge filings by an airline, it should appear as “/ACK”.
If Reference information from the originator is being shown, this is done using the single slash and
should appear as “/REFERENCE”, where REFERENCE stands for the reference text used.
If the e-mail address is being specified, this is done using the single slash and should appear as
“/HDQACXH@coordaus.com.au” for example. The Creator Reference Line is mandatory when
requesting slot allocations via e-mail and it is recommended that the following generic e-mail
address format be used:
Present teletype address@domainname.domainextension.
The generic e-mail addresses are listed in SSIM Attachment 2. Alternatively, e-mail addresses as
bilaterally agreed between the airline and the coordinator may be used.
The following table illustrates examples of the some common uses of the Creator Reference Line:

If the airline can accept a timing flexibility that exceeds the Day of Operation, this can be specified
by first indicating the earliest time possible for the arrival on the first day, and then the latest timing
acceptable on the next day.
If this results in a figure where the first 4 digits represent a time later than the time in the next
4 digits, it means that the flexibility ranges into the next day.

Action Codes

6.6.1

Introduction
Action Codes are required to define a specific function undertaken by a specified user (i.e. airline,
coordinator or schedules facilitator) in the Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement procedure
messages.
Action Codes are specific to the designated user and to the message function.
The Action Codes that may be used in each message together with the designated user are
detailed in the tables below.
The messages and Action Codes within the message are listed in alphabetic order.
The Action Code is used to indicate the precise function of the message and the following Sections
describe the general use of each Action Code by the message use and the message user.

Acceptance of an offer — no further improvement desired
SCR SMA
Action Code A is used to accept an offer of a (slot) clearance (SCR procedure) or to accept
a proposal for a voluntary reschedule request (SMA procedure).
It further indicates that the airline will not be requesting any improvements in the timings
submitted in the original request.
When several offers are proposed for the same request, the acceptance of one of the offers
by the airline automatically cancels other offers for the same request.
Example
AAF802 AF810 26OCT27MAR 1234567 290AB3 NCE0940 1050LHR JJ
New entrant
SCR
Action Code B is used by an airline to request an entirely new slot allocation (SCR
procedure).

or
Schedule to be changed
SAQ SMA
or
Outstanding Request to be changed for an operational reason
WCR
Action Code C may be used at any time during the entire Airport Coordination/Schedule
Movement process.
It is used by an airline to indicate its intention to change either existing clearances (including
historics) for an operational reason or towards the initial requested time of the airline.
It may also be used to change an outstanding request.
Action Code C can only be used in conjunction with one or more appropriate R, L or I data
lines and these lines are used to indicate the changes being requested.
Example
CAF802 AF810 26OCT27MAR 1234567 290AB3 NCENCE0910 1030LHRLHR JJ
Delete schedule
SCR SMA
Action Code D is used to delete an existing clearance (SCR) or a schedule movement
(SMA).
Example
DAF802 AF810 26OCT27MAR 1234567 290AB3 NCE0910 1030LHR JJ
Eliminate schedule
SCR SMA
Action Code E is used to permanently delete (eliminate):
• all clearances (SCR procedure) or schedule movements (SMA) for specified flight
designators;
or,
•

272

all clearances or schedule movements for one airline designator.

This may either be for a complete Season or for a period or single dates within a Season.
Caution is recommended when using Action Code E to avoid permanently deleting all
clearances or schedule movements.
Examples
Specific AF flights for a period

Revised schedule
SCR
(continuation from previous adjacent Season)
Action Code I may be used to request revisions to existing clearances as a continuation of a
service that has either started or is scheduled to start in the previous adjacent Season.
The service being requested must be a continuation from the previous adjacent Season
(summer followed by winter or winter followed by summer) in UTC or Local Time at the
coordinated airport, or in UTC or Local Time at the origin/destination airport.
Action Code I is only used in conjunction with one or several appropriate C or M data lines
to indicate that the airline wishes to align an existing schedule operated in the previous
adjacent Season to provide a constant year round schedule.
All provisions for Action Code R are applicable.
Airlines may request certain amendments to clearances within the previous adjacent Season
using Action Code I.
The following amendments are acceptable since they are not considered relevant to airport
capacity constraints;
• Flight Number change only (arrival and/or departure);
• Reduction in aircraft capacity (Number of Seats);
• Contraction of the frequencies or termination of the operation within the new Season.
Note: Since the flight number may be used to identify slot allocations (clearances) in some
coordinator systems, system problems may be encountered when a flight number is
changed.
Example
IAF802 AF810 26OCT27MAR 1234567 290AB3 NCE0900 1020LHR JJ
Revised schedule (No offer acceptable)
SCR
Action Code L is only used in conjunction with one or several associated C or M data lines
to request a slot allocation for a revised schedule.
The combination of C or M data lines with L data lines must constitute one complete
transaction and all C or M data lines within a transaction must be stated first.
Action Code L is used when the requesting airline intends to change the clearances on hold
as stated in the associated C or M data line.
The change is subject to the proviso that the new clearance can be allocated as requested.
For flight number changes, it is recommended that the Action Code C/L combination
procedure is used rather than the Delete and New (D/N) procedure.

Changing a flight number using the D/N procedure requires that both the D and N schedule
information lines are processed as a package. It is quite possible that a system receiving a
D/N request might action the Delete line, re-allocate the slot and then not be able to action
the New line.

under Action Code C
Action Code M may be used at any time during the entire Airport Coordination/Schedule
Movement process.
It is used by an airline to indicate its intention to change either existing clearances (including
historics) or Outstanding Requests.
Action Code M can only be used in conjunction with one or more appropriate R, L or I data
lines that are used to indicate the changes being requested.

New Schedule or New Outstanding Request
SAQ SCR SMA WCR
For new schedules, Action Code N may be used at any time during the entire Airport
Coordination/Schedule Movement process.
Action Code N is used to:
• request the availability of slots for a new service (SAQ procedure);
• request a totally new slot allocation (SCR procedure);
• submit a new schedule movement (SMA procedure).
Action Code N cannot be used to file existing clearances holding historic precedence.
Action Code F must be used when maintaining status quo for existing historics.
Action Code C/I, C/L, C/R, M/I, M/L or M/R combinations must be used to request changes
to historics.
For new Outstanding Requests, Action Code N may be used during or after the Schedules
Conference to request that an existing clearance be recorded in the coordinator/schedules
facilitators database for possible improvement to a new requested time not previously
advised to the coordinator/schedules facilitator (WCR procedure).
Example
NAF802 AF810 26OCT27MAR 1234567 290AB3 NCE0900 1020LHR JJ
Acceptance of an offer — Maintain Outstanding Request
SCR SMA
Action Code P is used to accept an offer of a slot clearance (SCR procedure) or to accept a
proposal for a voluntary reschedule movement request (SMA procedure).
It further indicates that the airline will be seeking improvements to the times in the original
request and that the requested times should be held in the coordinators/schedules
facilitators database for improvement.
When several offers are proposed for the same request, the acceptance of one of the offers
by the airline automatically cancels other offers for the same request.

SAQ SCR SMA WCR
Action Code R may be used at any time during the entire Airport Coordination and Schedule
Movement process.
It is used in conjunction with one or more associated C or M data lines to:
• indicate the revised schedule in a request for slot availability information (SAQ
procedure);
• request a slot allocation for a revised schedule (SCR procedure);
• indicate the revised schedule movement (SMA procedure);
• request a change in outstanding request requirements (WCR procedure).
The combination of C or M data lines with R data lines must constitute one complete
transaction and all C or M data lines within a transaction must be stated first.
Action Code R is used when the requesting airline intends to change the clearances on hold
as stated in the associated C or M data line(s) (i.e. the historics).
The change is subject to the proviso that the new clearance can be confirmed as requested
or that a reasonable offer can be made.
Example

SCR
Action Code V is used by an airline claiming new entrant status.
The code may be used to request new slot allocations as a continuation of a service that
either has started or is scheduled to start in the previous adjacent Season (SCR
procedure).
The service being requested must be a continuation from the previous adjacent Season
(summer followed by winter or winter followed by summer) in UTC or Local Time at the
coordinated airport, or in UTC or Local Time at the origin/destination airport.
Airlines may request certain amendments to the schedule of the previous adjacent Season
from the clearance on hold in the previous adjacent Season. These may be submitted using
Action Code V.
The following amendments are acceptable since they are not considered relevant to airport
capacity constraints:
Flight Number change only (arrival and/or departure);
Reduction in aircraft capacity (Number of Seats).
Note: Since the flight number may be used to identify slot allocations (clearances) in some
coordinator systems, system problems may be encountered when a flight number is
changed.

H

Holding, Return to Historic, Eligible for Historic
Precedence or Holding (Voluntary Reschedule
Offer)
SAL SAQ SCR SHL SIR SMA
Use by Airport Coordinator Prior to Schedules Conference (SC)
Action code H can be used by the coordinator in two ways:
SHL Procedure:
Action code H is used to confirm the clearances that are eligible for historic precedence in
the next equivalent season. The data lines should reflect the dates and period of validity of
the equivalent season for which the historic eligibility is granted. For the IATA summer
season, where historic eligibility is granted prior to the end of the summer scheduling period,
this must be regarded as provisional until the season is completed.
SAL Procedure:
Action code H is used to advise that the requested slot allocations could not be confirmed,
that the historic precedence has been retained and that the original request has been added
to the database of outstanding requests. In exceptional cases, Action Code H may be used
in conjunction with Action Code U on the SAL to advise that the slot allocation requests
have been cleared based on other capacity elements such as aircraft types.
Use by Airport Coordinator At or After the Schedules Conference (SC)
Action Code H is used by a coordinator to specify confirmed clearances held by the
coordinator (SIR procedure).
Action Code H is used by a coordinator in conjunction with Action Code W in SCR
procedures to notify that a clearance held by the coordinator;
• either does not match the information contained in a C or M data line;
• or results in a flight designator duplication for the dates in question.
Action Code H is used by a coordinator in conjunction with Action Code U in response to
C/I, C/L and C/R transactions (SCR procedure) to advise the airline that the revised slot
allocation could not be cleared as requested (U data line) and that the existing clearance
(H data line) will be maintained.
Action Code H is used by the coordinator in conjunction with Action Codes U and O to
advise the airline that the revised slot allocation could not be cleared as requested (U data
line) but offers are possible as indicated by Action Code O. The existing clearance (H data
line) is maintained if the airline does not respond to the offers or does not accept any of the
offers.

Action Code H is used by the coordinator in conjunction with Action Code(s) X in SCR
procedures to inform the airline that, since the acceptance of an offer has not been received
within 3 business days, all offers are cancelled (X data line). The existing clearance held by
the airline (H data line) is maintained.
Use by Airport Coordinator in SAQ procedure
Action Code H is used by the coordinator in the SAQ procedure to advise that the existing
clearance will be maintained (held) when an airline requests availability information for a
possible change to the existing clearance.
Use by Schedules Facilitator
Action Code H is used by a schedules facilitator to:
• notify the airline of detected mismatches and/or flight designator duplications (SMA
procedure);
• specify schedule movements previously advised by the airline (SIR procedure).
Example

SAQ
Action Code I is used to provide slot availability information in response to an airline SAQ
request message.
No action is taken by the coordinator to change or allocate clearances as a result of the
request.
The format is the same as Action Code O except that no offers are being made.
Example

Offer or Offer (Voluntary Reschedule Request)
SAL SCR SIR SMA
Use by Coordinator Prior to Schedules Conference (SC)
Action Code O is used by a coordinator to offer the closest available clearances to those
requested (SAL procedure).
In exceptional cases, Action Code O may be used in conjunction with Action Code U on the
SAL to advise the airline that the slot allocations requests have been cleared based on other
capacity elements such as aircraft types.
Use by Coordinator During or After the Schedules Conference (SC)
Action Code O is used by a coordinator to:
• offer the nearest available clearance to those requested (SCR procedure);
• specify the clearances being offered (SIR procedure).
Action Code O will always be used in combination with a U data line that reflects the original
slot allocation request except for improvements to outstanding requests originated by the
coordinator (SCR procedures).
Use by Schedules Facilitator
Action Code O is used by a schedules facilitator in SAL and SMA procedures to request an
airline to consider an offer of a rescheduled movement.
Acceptance of such offers are on voluntary basis and this procedure is only used in order to
offer rescheduled timings within the available airport capacity in an endeavour to avoid the
airport having to consider moving to Level 3 status.

Pending Action or Advice
SCR SIR
Action Code P (Pending Action) may be used in the SCR and SIR procedures when the
acceptance or refusal of a slot allocation request is dependent on the acceptance or refusal
of an offer made to another airline.
Action Code P must not be used by schedules facilitators.
Action Code P (Pending Advice) may be used by a coordinator in a SCR message prior to
the SC to acknowledge the receipt of the initial filings by an airline in an SCR message
using Action Codes B, F, I, L, N, R, V or Y.
→ Refer to SSIM 6.8.9 for details of the acknowledgement procedures.
Pending for Improvement
WCR WIR
Action Code P is used in the WIR and WCR procedures to advise the airline of flights that
have been placed in the coordinators/schedule facilitators database for improvement.
In combination with Action Code X, it indicates that a new outstanding request has been
placed in the coordinators/schedule facilitators database.
In combination with Action Code W, it indicates that original outstanding request has been
retained since the coordinator was unable to reconcile the flight information.

Allocated Subject to Conditions
SAL SCR SHL SIR SMA
Action Code T is used by a coordinator to:
• Indicate the clearances that are eligible for historic precedence in the next equivalent
season but are subject to conditions (SHL procedure). The data lines should reflect the
dates and periods of validity of the equivalent seasons for which the conditional historic
eligibility is granted
• notify the airline that the slot allocation request has been cleared subject to certain
conditions (SAL, SCR, SIR and SMA)
The slot clearance may be cancelled if the conditions are not fulfilled.
For example, this situation may occur when clearances may be allocated for an airline that
has yet to obtain an operating license.

Action Code U is used by a coordinator in the SAL procedures prior to the SC to advise an
airline that no definitive action can be taken on a request to change an existing clearance or
on a request for a slot allocation for a new service.
It also indicates that a clearance has not been allocated and that there is no possibility of a
reasonable offer.
Data lines with Action Code U will be automatically added to the outstanding requests in the

SI NO TIMES AVAILABLE
In exceptional cases, for use in SAL only, Action Code U may be used in combination with
Action Code O or H to advise the airline that the slot allocations requests have been cleared
based on other capacity elements such as aircraft types.
Use by Coordinator During or After the SC
Action Code U is used by a coordinator in the SCR procedures during or after the SC to
advise the airline that the request for a new or a revised slot allocation could not be cleared.
It also indicates that it was not possible to offer clearances as none are available.
The original slot allocation request will be automatically recorded in the coordinator's
database.
When used in combination with Action Code O in the SCR procedures, Action Code U
reflects the original slot allocation request.
It may also indicate that no clearance is available either before or after the offer(s) reflected
in the O data line(s).
The original slot allocation request will be automatically recorded on the coordinator's
database.
Action Code U will also be used in combination with Action Code X to confirm the deletion of
an Offer generated by the coordinator but declined by the airline using Action Code Z when
the resulting flight does not hold any slot time (no slotted). The U line will reflect the original
slot allocation request and will include Coordination Reason Codes.

Unable to reconcile flight information
SCR SMA WCR
Action Code W is used by a coordinator in the SCR procedures or by a schedules facilitator
in the SMA procedures to advise that the request cannot be processed due to errors in the
data submission. It is applicable to all Action Codes.
When flight(s) are held by the coordinator at another time or at another date/period/days of
operation, Action Code W may be followed by corresponding H data line(s) to indicate the
existing clearances held by the coordinator.
This action will allow the airline to correct its submission and avoid unintended deletions.
In WCR procedures, Action Code W is used by a coordinator to advise that changes to the
outstanding requests cannot be actioned as the flight information cannot be reconciled.
Action Code W may be followed by (a) corresponding P data line(s) to indicate the existing
clearances held by the coordinator.

Action Code X is used by a coordinator in the SCR procedure to confirm the deletion of a
current clearance requested by the airline using Action Codes C or M, D, or E.
Action Code X will be used in conjunction with Action Code H or Action Code U to confirm
the deletion of an Offer generated by the coordinator but declined by the airline using Action
Code Z.
It may also be used, in conjunction with Action Code H, or Action Code U, by the
coordinator to advise that an offer(s) using Action Code O has been cancelled since no
response was received from the airline within 3 business days of the offer being made.
When using Action Code X, the reply should contain only those Periods/Day(s) of Operation
or dates effectively cancelled in the complete C, M, D or E data lines.

Incorrectly Formatted Messages
The rules governing action by coordinators and airlines acting as schedules facilitators for handling
incorrect message format are detailed below.
For a given flight designator and date at a specific station, there can only be one scheduled arrival
and/or one scheduled departure time allocated or advised.
SCR messages containing flights being amended by use of Action Codes C and R (or C and L or
C and I) or by M and R (or M and L or M and I) or cancelled by Action Code D or E will only be
actioned against those data lines for which the clearance information held by the Coordinator
matches that contained in the C, M, D or E data lines.
For data lines for which there is a mismatch, the coordinator will take no action but respond using
Action Code W against the submitted data line with the slot information currently held using Action
Code H.
When no slots are held for the Days/Dates of Operation stated in the C, M, D or E data line, the
coordinator shall reply with a “NIL” statement using Action Code H.
Example
WAF5402 AF5810 26OCT27MAR 1234567 290734 NCE0930 1020LGW JJ
HNIL
For SCR messages containing additional or new slot requests, the coordinator will take no action
on those data lines that would result in flight designator duplication.
The coordinator will respond with a SCR message using Action Code W against the submitted data
lines with the slot information currently held using Action Code H.
This will apply for slot requests sent with Action Code N, F or I and for those sent with Action Code
C/R, C/L, C/I, M/R, M/L, or M/I combinations.

If an SCR message contains several data lines where changes are interrelated and one or more of
these data lines cannot be processed due to format errors, the Coordinator will not take action on
any of these data lines. He will however respond with an appropriate SCR, SMA or WCR message
using Action Code W against the submitted data lines, together with the clearance information
currently held using Action Code H.
For SCR data lines containing acceptance of offers using Action Code A for which there is a
mismatch, the Coordinator will take no action. He will however respond using Action Code W
against the submitted data line with the clearance information currently held on offer using Action
Code O.

Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement Procedures
When an Airline wants to change several flights in one message (i.e. several changes/new/
deletions), he should always place the C, M, D and E records prior to the corresponding R, L, Y or
N records that have the same Flight Designator(s) whenever the same date/period is involved.

6.8

Airport Coordination Procedures
The Airport Coordination Procedures defined in the Section are applicable to Level 3 airports for
the allocation of clearances at these airports. The procedures may be used for initial coordination
(i.e. prior to SC), during or after SC.
Some of the procedures may occur throughout the whole slot coordination process.
As soon as all SAL's are distributed, coordinators must make their database available to all airlines
that submitted an SCR for that airport. This database must contain details by airline, of all
requested slots and all allocated slots in a format that excludes flight number and route details to
avoid conflict with competition laws in the world. Flight numbers should be replaced with ‘0000’ and
airports with ‘XXX’ (Example: HA0000 26OCT28MAR 1234567 180320 XXXXXX2325 J).

6.8.1

Initial Coordination Procedures
The Initial Coordination Procedures are undertaken prior to the SC and these may consist of the
following:
• Historic Slot Determination
• Airline Procedures for Filing for a New Season
• Preliminary Slot Allocation
A diagram of the message exchange flows between airlines and coordinators with message types
and relevant action codes is presented below.

CHAPTER 6

Standard Schedules Information Manual
6.8.1.1 Historic Slot Determination Procedure
Before the historic slot distribution deadline for a new scheduling Season, coordinators will advise
each airline whether its clearances operated in the previous equivalent season are eligible or not
eligible for historic precedence (historics).
For the IATA summer season, where historic eligibility is granted prior to the end of the summer
scheduling period, the clearances must be regarded as provisional until the season is completed.
The historic eligibility information is provided electronically in an SHL (Slot Historic and NonHistoric Allocation List) by the coordinator and the listing must be provided no later than the dates
specified in the WSG.
The Period of Operation for historic eligibility, as stated in the SHL, must reflect the dates adjusted
for the forthcoming Season. For records covering the entire Period of Operation, the start and end
dates must reflect the start and end dates of the new Season.
When operated flights do not cover the entire Period of Operation, the start and end dates of the
historic eligibility should be the dates closest (i.e. earlier or later) to the respective dates applicable
to the same Day(s) of Operation of the previous season.
This will also include the extension or contraction of full season schedule by one week if the
Season is a week longer or shorter than the last equivalent Season.
When flight records have become fragmented due to changes such as ad-hoc cancellations or
aircraft type changes during the previous equivalent season, the coordinator must ‘reconstruct’ the
records of those flights that qualify for historic status to create a single historic record for each
flight.
This must be completed prior to the distribution of the SHLs to airlines and must comply with the
coordination parameters established at the airport.
The airline will consider the receipt of the historics as the right to continue operating these
schedules for the next equivalent season.
The SHL message from the coordinator will contain data lines using Action Code H for schedules
eligible for historic precedence and Action Code U for schedules that are not eligible for historic
precedence.
Data lines preceded with Action Code U will identify the reason why the schedule is not eligible for
historic rights. The Coordinator Reason(s) will be provided in the additional schedule information
data line either using the Coordinator Reason Codes listed in SSIM Appendix J or by free text in an
SI Line.
For transit and turnaround flights, an historic may be established for the arrival flight but not for the
departure flight (or vice versa). When this occurs, the data lines will be divided into separate arrival
and departure lines with the relevant Action Code (H or U).
For historics for new entrants, the H data lines may contain Coordinator Reason Code(s) to
indicate that there are limitations on the continued use of these historics.
If this occurs, airlines will need to contact the coordinator for an explanation.

When a schedule is not considered eligible as an historic, the airline must file a new slot allocation
request if the intention is to continue to operate the schedule.
The SHL message from the coordinator may contain clearances which are eligible for historic
precedence but have conditions attached. For example if an airport has adjusted it's night curfew
regulations from the previous equivalent season and the aircraft type used in the previous season
is now excluded from operating in the curfew period. When this occurs the data line will be
preceded with Action Code T and either the message SI text or the Status Information additional
elements will be used to advise the airline the conditions attached to the clearance.

When filing for changes to historics, Action Code combinations C/I, C/L, C/R, M/I, M/L, M/R shall
be used.

286

CHAPTER 6
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement Procedures
Under no circumstances shall these transactions be used to expand Day(s) and/or Period of
Operation.
They may, however, be used to contract Day(s) and/or Period of Operation.
When filing to maintain or modify historics using the F, C/L, C/R, C/I, M/I, M/L or M/R procedures,
airlines should base their filings on the H data line from the SHL.
When filing to modify historics issued with conditions using the C/R, C/I, M/R or M/I procedures,
airlines should base their filings on the T data line from the SHL.
Arrival and departure flights from different H data lines may not be combined unless unlinked H
data lines are being used.
Action Codes V or Y must be used to file for a new series of slot allocations operated in the
previous adjacent Season.
Action Codes B or N must be used to file for either a new series of slot allocations or for slot
allocations on individual dates.
When filing changes or new requests with the above Action Codes (except C/L, M/L or F), airlines
may use the Timing Flexibility Identifier and/or Supplementary Information (SI) lines to indicate the
range of timings for acceptable offers.
It is recommended that airlines file separate messages when using the SI line or Timing Flexibility
Identifier.
Note: Since the flight number may be used to identify slot allocations (clearances) in some
coordinator systems, system problems may be encountered when a flight number is changed.

6.8.1.3 Maintain Historic Schedule
F Procedure
The airline uses the historic eligibility information provided by the coordinator as the basis for filing
schedules for the forthcoming equivalent Season and as the right to continue operating the historic
schedules.
Each schedule must be filed with a SCR message using Action Code F to replace the Action Code
H data line provided in the SHL message.
Coordinators may bilaterally agree with an airline to accept filings using Action Code F that include
modifications to the H data line. These modifications cannot be capacity relevant items. Examples
of non capacity items are change of aircraft type (when non-capacity relevant) and/or reduction in
number of seats.
Slot allocation requests using Action Code F will always be validated by the coordinator to ensure
the correct application of the code.

6.8.1.4 Modify Historic Schedule
C/R or M/R Procedure — Offers Acceptable
An airline may use the C/R or M/R procedure to request changes to the historic schedule.
The use of C/R or M/R indicates to the coordinator that the airline will accept offers and that the
historic precedence can be replaced by the clearance being offered.
When using the C/R or M/R procedure to request changes to historics, the airline is entitled to
maintain the historic if the request is only to change non-capacity relevant items.
Also, when using the C/R or M/R procedure, airlines are advised to refer to the guidelines
(Section 6.8.2) established by the coordinators to evaluate the airline requests.
For each schedule to be changed, the airline submits a SCR message with:
• a data line with Action Code C or M to identify the clearance on hold (i.e. the historic);
• one or more data lines with Action Code R to indicate the revised slot allocation request.
The airline may indicate a range of acceptable timings using either the Timing Flexibility Identifier
or the SI (Supplementary Information) line.

B Procedure – New Schedule with New Entrant Status
An airline uses the B procedure to request a slot allocation for a new service to be operated under
its new entrant status (i.e. less than 4 clearances) and that does not have any historic precedence.
→ Refer to WSG 6.8.1.4 and to, EEC N° 95/93 as amended by Regulation (EC) No 793/2004,
(for European Airports) definition of new Entrant.

CHAPTER 6

Standard Schedules Information Manual
For each new slot allocation request, the airline submits a SCR message with:
• a data line with Action Code B to identify the required slot allocation;
or
• a data line with Action Code B to identify the required slot allocation with;
• either an optional additional data line to indicate the Timing Flexibility range;
• and/or an optional SI data lines(s) to indicate the timing range for acceptable offers.
Example
→ Refer to N Procedure above and replace Action Code N with Action Code B.

V Procedure – New Schedule with New Entrant Status with Year Round Status
(Continuation from previous adjacent Season)
An airline uses the V procedure to request a slot allocation for a new service to be operated under
its new entrant status (i.e. less than 4 clearances) as a continuation of a service from the previous
adjacent Season.
→ Refer to WSG 6.8.1.4 and to, EEC N° 95/93 as amended by Regulation (EC) No 793/2004,
(for European Airports) definition of new Entrant.
For each new slot allocation request, the airline submits a SCR message with:
• a data line with Action Code V to identify the required slot allocation;
or
• a data line with Action Code V to identify the required slot allocation with;
• either an optional additional data line to indicate the Timing Flexibility range;
• and/or an optional SI data lines(s) to indicate the timing range for acceptable offers.
The airline should indicate within the SI (Supplementary Information) data line whether the
schedule is a continuation from the previous Season in:
• UTC or Local Time at the coordinated airport;
or
• Local Time at the origin airport;
or
• Local Time at the destination airport.
Example
→ Refer to N Procedure above and replace Action Code N with Action Code V.

Y Procedure New Schedule with year round status — (Continuation from previous
adjacent Season)
An airline uses the Y filing procedure to request a new schedule to streamline its requested
schedule with the schedule flown during the previous adjacent season.
For each new slot allocation request, the airline submits a SCR message with:
• a data line with Action Code Y to identify the required slot allocation;
or
• a data line with Action Code Y to identify the required slot allocation with;
• either an optional additional data line to indicate the Timing Flexibility range;
• and/or an optional SI data lines(s) to indicate the timing range for acceptable offers.

Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement Procedures
6.8.2

Coordinator Response: Preliminary Slot Allocation (SAL)
Coordinators should acknowledge the receipt of the original slot allocation requests from an airline
using the special SCR ACK message as specified in Section 6.8.9.
In order to evaluate a request to amend an historic schedule, the coordinator must take the
following guidelines into consideration.
• Under no circumstances should the coordinator make offers that would place the airline in a
less favourable position than the historic schedule on hold.
This means that, if the airline has not indicated a flexibility range in his submission, the
coordinator should only offer clearances that are between the historic slot and the requested
slot.
If the airline indicated a flexibility range in the request, the coordinator needs to take this into
account and should not place the airline at a disadvantage because this information was
included in the request.
• A daily service should not be given fragmented times unless the airline has indicated that this
may be considered.
This may even occur within the flexibility range.
• If an improvement cannot be offered on one of the two legs of a turnaround flight, the historic
timing should be reinstated for the entire turnaround flight.
The exception to this would be when the coordinator only has to make minor adjustments to
the ground time in order to improve the proposed offers.
This must always be within the flexibility range indicated by the airline unless the airline has
indicated otherwise in the SI data line.
Airlines are advised that extensions to the frequencies or to the period of operation are not allowed.
The coordinator will respond to the airline requests with a SAL message using relevant Action
Codes to advise the airline of the action taken. SAL messages should be transmitted to the airlines
at least 6 days before the start of the relevant SC.
If the historic eligibility or the slot allocation cannot be confirmed as requested, the coordinator will
advise the airline using the appropriate Coordinator Reason Code(s) as listed in SSIM Appendix J
and provided in the additional schedule information data line.
For data lines with combinations of Action Codes U and T, the coordinator should respond with
separate lines for arrivals and departures — unless both arrivals and departures have the same
Action Code.
For a data line where either the arrival or the departure of a linked flight cannot be confirmed the
coordinator will use the Action Code appropriate to the non confirmed leg (either Action Code H or
O) against the whole data line. The coordinator will indicate with coordinator reason code OK that
the other leg of the flight is cleared as requested.
OEW881 EW882 05MAY27JUN 1234500 042AT3 NUE1135 1220NUE JJ
/ CA.OK CD.AA RD.1230/
For data lines where a combination of Action Codes H and O are applicable the coordinator will
always use Action Code O.

Note: Use of Action Code P during the initial coordination procedures is implied if no action is
taken by the airlines. This indicates that the clearance on offer is ‘acceptable’ but further
improvement on the clearance will be sought. Until confirmation is provided by the airline, the
coordinators will record the request in their outstanding requests database.

6.8.4

Coordinator Action Prior To SC
When an airline accepts an offer prior to the start of SC, the coordinator will confirm the clearance
with an SCR using Action Code K.
If the airline has not responded to the offer(s) (Action Codes H and O) nor contacted the
coordinator at SC, the coordinator will automatically confirm the offer on the third day of SC.
The original slot allocation request is placed in the coordinators outstanding request database for
improvement.
If there was more than one offer for the same request and there has been no response from the
airline, the coordinator will automatically confirm one of the offers and delete the others on the third
day of SC.
The coordinator must confirm this action to the airline immediately after the close of SC with an
SCR message.
If an airline advised the coordinator using Action Code D that it would not be operating the historic
or a new schedule, the coordinator will confirm the cancellation of the clearance with an SCR
message using Action Code X.
Note: Use of Action Code P during the Initial Coordination procedures is implied if no action is

When filing changes or new requests with the above Action Codes (except C/L, M/L, D and E),
airlines may use the Timing Flexibility Identifier and/or Supplementary Information (SI) lines to
indicate the range of timings for acceptable offers.
It is recommended that airlines file separate messages when using the SI line or Timing Flexibility
Identifier.
Note: Since flight numbers may be used to identify slot allocations (clearances) in some
coordinator systems, system problems may be encountered when a flight number is changed using
Action Codes V or Y.

6.8.5.1 Modify Existing Clearances
C/R or M/R Procedure – Offers Acceptable
An airline uses the C/R or M/R procedure to request changes to existing clearances.
The request may include both capacity relevant and non-capacity relevant items.
The use of C/R or M/R indicates to the coordinator that the airline will accept offers and that the
existing clearance can be replaced by the clearance being offered.
For each clearance to be changed, the airline submits a SCR message with:
• a data line with Action Code C or M to identify the existing clearance;
• one or more data lines with Action Code R to indicate the revised slot allocation request.
The airline may indicate a range of acceptable timings using either the Timing Flexibility Identifier
or the SI (Supplementary Information) line.

Acceptance
The airline will confirm its acceptance of (one of) the clearance(s) being offered by responding to
the coordinator with an SCR message using Action Code A.
The use of Action Code A by the airline indicates that it will not be seeking further improvement on
the clearance offered.
If the original request included changes to non-capacity items, acceptance of the offer by the airline
results in these changes being actioned by the coordinator.

Acceptance with Improvement
The airline will provisionally confirm its acceptance of (one of) the clearance(s) being offered by
responding to the coordinator with an SCR message using Action Code P.
The use of Action Code P by the airline indicates that it will be seeking further improvement on the
clearance offered and will expect, upon receipt of action code P from an airline, the coordinator to
place the original slot allocation request in the coordinator's outstanding requests database.
If the original request included changes to non-capacity items, the provisional acceptance of the
offer by the airline results in these changes being actioned by the coordinator.

Decline Offer
The airline will decline offers by responding to the coordinator with an SCR message using Action
Code Z.
The use of Action Code Z by the airline indicates that none of the offer(s) are acceptable.
Action Code Z must be used against all data lines with Action Code O when no offer has been
accepted with Action Code A.
If the original request included changes to non-capacity items, these changes will not be actioned
by the coordinator if the airline declines the offer.
For the C/R, M/R, C/I and M/I procedures, the existing clearance will be maintained.
The airline may opt to continue the C/R, M/R, C/I or M/I procedure with a new slot allocation
request with different timings.

Acknowledgement of the Airline Filing by the Coordinator
Coordinators should acknowledge the receipt of the original slot allocation requests from an airline
using the special SCR ACK message.
The ACK message will contain the complete schedule information data lines from the original
request with Action Code P replacing Action Codes B, F, I, L, N, R, V or Y.
The Creator Reference Line will begin with a ‘/’, followed by ACK and then the coordinator
reference.
The Incoming Message Reference should repeat the creator reference and/or the time (stamp)
from the original message.
If unable to provide a detailed ACK message, the coordinator should acknowledge receipt of the
slot allocation requests using a SI line to confirm that the number of schedule information lines
received. All data lines should be counted including any applicable C data lines.

Use of Special Reference – //BLOCK or //SWAP
When the Special Reference facility //XX is used for //BLOCK or //SWAP in the SCR message, the
coordinator should action either all the requested changes or action none of them.
This implies that the handling of the complete message by the Coordinator will be manual rather
than automated.

//BLOCK — C/L, M/L, C/R or M/R Procedure to Exchange Arrival and
Departure Clearances
An airport may provide the facility for airlines to exchange arrival and departure clearances.
The request to exchange arrival and departure clearances will be submitted by the airline to the
coordinator in a SCR message using the Special Reference ‘//BLOCK’ to ensure that all the
transactions are processed as a whole.
If the whole transaction cannot be processed, the historic precedence must be maintained.
The airline submits the request to the coordinator using Action Code C or M to identify the existing
clearances to be exchanged and using Action Code L or R to identify the requested slot
allocations.
If the coordinator can clear the exchange as requested, this will be confirmed to the airlines in a
SCR message using Action X to indicate that existing clearance (C or M data line) has been
deleted and using Action Code K to indicate the revised clearance (L or R data line).

//BLOCK — D/N with C/L, M/l, C/R or M/R Procedures
When an airline submits an inter-dependent set of requests to exchange slots and to request new
slot allocations and/or delete existing clearances, ‘//BLOCK’ is used to indicate that the requests
are to be processed as a total transaction.
If the coordinator cannot confirm one or more of the requests, status quo is maintained.
The airline submits the request to the coordinator using Action Code C or M to identify the existing
clearances to be exchanged and using Action Code L or R to identify the requested slot allocations
after the exchange.
Action Code N is used to request new slot allocations and Action Code D is used to delete existing
clearances.
If the Coordinator cannot confirm all the requested changes, the D and N requests will not be
actioned and the existing clearances (C data line) will be maintained.

//SWAP — C/L or M/L Procedure to Exchange Clearances
When two or more carriers wish to exchange existing clearances, the SCR C/L or M/L procedure
will be used with the special message header reference ‘//SWAP’.
The request to exchange existing clearances will be submitted by each airline to the coordinator in
a SCR message using Action Code C or M to identify the existing clearances and using Action
Code L to identify the requested allocations after the exchange.
The coordinator will acknowledge the receipt of each request in a SCR message using Action P to
indicate that the exchange is pending until the requests have been received from all the airlines
involved.
If the coordinator can clear the exchange as requested, this will be confirmed to the airlines in a
SCR message using Action X to indicate that existing clearance (C or M data line) has been
deleted and using Action Code K to indicate the revised clearance (L data line).
If the coordinator cannot clear the requested exchange, the existing clearances (C or M data line)
will be maintained.

information before the SC;
• the Schedule Movement Advice (SMA) procedure to optimise schedule movements within the
available airport capacity;
• This procedure may occur throughout the whole scheduling process.
The SMA procedure is used by airlines to submit schedule movement data to schedules facilitators
(i.e. data collection agents or other entities such as an airline) at schedules facilitated airports.
Although these airports are not coordinated, information is required to manage the airport capacity
in order to avoid the airport having to consider moving to Level 3 status.
Airlines operating, or intending to operate, to a Level 2 airport must submit their proposed
schedules to the schedules facilitators within the time-frames defined in the WSG.
The standard Schedule Movement Advice (SMA) message is used to exchange schedules data.

Note: For the purpose of assisting with future airport planning at Level 1 airports, the SMA
message may be used to provide data to a Level 1 airport operator after the Schedules Conference
using the Action Code H only.
Additionally, the Standard Message Identifier ‘SCR’, with explicit prior agreement between the
airline and the Schedules Facilitator, may be used at Level 2 airports along with the appropriate
Level 2 actions.

Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement Procedures
6.10.5 Schedule Advice List (SAL) Procedures
The standard Schedule Advice List (SAL) procedures are for use by schedules facilitators before
the SC to inform airlines operating at Level 2 airports that:
• their schedule movement submissions have been recorded in the schedule facilitator database;
• they have been requested to consider a voluntary schedule change;
• their schedule movement requests cannot be confirmed.
When the schedules facilitator cannot confirm a schedule movement request or requests a
voluntary change to the schedule movement, the reason why this action is being undertaken must
be explained using the Coordinator Reason Codes listed in Appendix J.
If there is no acceptable codes or if the coordinator uses Reason Code ‘UA’, the reason why the
request could not be granted should be provided in a SI line.
The SI line should also be used to provide further information as necessary.
The schedules facilitators use the Schedule Advise List (SAL) message to provide each airline with
the status of their schedule movement requests.
The following table summarises the actions that may be undertaken by the schedules facilitators.

This also indicates that the schedule data has been recorded in the schedules facilitator database.

Offer Voluntary Reschedule Request
When the schedules facilitator has requested the airline to consider changing its original schedule
request, the re-scheduled offer is confirmed to the airline using Action Code O.
If, prior to or during SC, the airline accepts the revised schedule, this will be recorded in the
schedules facilitator database.
If the airlines cannot accept the revised schedule, or does not respond or does not contact the
schedules facilitator, then the schedules facilitator should record the original schedule request in its
database and contact the airline.
Once contacted by the schedules facilitator, the airline must accept or decline the re-schedule
offer.
If the Operator then agrees to the revised schedule, the original schedule request will be held by
the schedules facilitator in order that the offer might be improved at a later date. The airline has the
option to advise the schedules facilitator that it will not be seeking any improvement.

Not Confirmed
When a schedules facilitator cannot confirm the schedule request and does not record the
schedule in the database, the airline will be advised using Action Code U together with the reason
why the request could not be confirmed.

Slot and Schedule Information Request and Response
Procedures
The Slot and Schedule Information Request and Response procedures defined in this Section are
applicable at Coordinated (Level 3) and/or Schedules Facilitated (Level 2) airports and are
undertaken by airlines, coordinators and schedules facilitators at a specified airport.
These procedures comprise:
• The Slot and Schedule Availability Query (SAQ) procedure allows an airline to investigate the
possibility of amending existing clearances or adding new services without any definitive action
being taken by the coordinator.
• This procedure may be used for the current season or the next coordinated season and may
only be used at Level 3 airports.
• The Slot and Schedule Information Request and Reply (SIR) procedure allows an airline to
request and receive the status of its clearances or schedule movements at the specified
airport.
The SIR procedure also allows an airline to request and receive the status on clearances or
schedule movements held by one or more airlines at the specified airport.
• These procedures comprise:
• The SIR procedure may only be used after the relevant SC and may be used at both Level 3
and Level 2 airports.
• The SIR procedure is not to be used by airlines during the period between the issuance of the
SHLs and the start of a SC.
• The SIR procedure may also be used by a coordinator or schedules facilitator to advise an
airline — on an unsolicited basis and at any time during or after the SC — the status of its
clearances or schedule movements held at the specified airport.

Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement Procedures
Requests for information using the SAQ procedures will not be processed unless the airline
designator in the Schedule Information data line is:
• either identical to the airline designator in the originator's Type B address;
• or corresponds to additional authorised teletype address or the ‘generic’ E-mail address as
listed in SSIM Attachment 2 for the requesting airline.
Requests for information using the SIR procedures will not be processed unless the airline
designator in the Schedule Information data line to an authorised teletype address or the ‘generic’
E-mail address as listed in SSIM Attachment 2.
Responses to Slot and Schedule Information requests must only be transmitted to the originator of
the request as specified in the Type B/e-mail address in the Creator Reference.
Unsolicited Slot and Schedule Information originating from a coordinator or schedules facilitator
must only be transmitted to the authorised teletype address or the ‘generic’ E-mail address of the
airline holding the clearances or schedule movements at the specified airport.
The SIR message format allows for all combinations of request for information for:
• all flights (arrival, departure or transit/turnout);
• all airlines or a specific airline;
specific flight(s) for a specific airline;
• part of a Season;
• all days and/or times throughout the whole Season;
• specific the whole Season;
• days and/or times throughout the whole Season;
• specific days and/or times.

6.11.1 Slot and Schedule Availability Query (SAQ) Procedure
Airline Request for Information on New Slot Allocation
The airline submits a SAQ message to a coordinator using Action Code N to request availability
information for a new slot allocation.
The request may be for a whole Season, part of a Season, all days of the week or specific days of
the week and all combinations of these.

Coordinator Response to Request for Availability Information
The coordinator will provide clearance availability information to the airline in a SAQ message
using either Action Code I or a combination of Action Codes H, U and I.
The information provided by the coordinator is for information purposes only.
The coordinator may use the Coordinator Reason Codes listed in Appendix J to advice the airline
of potential problems that could be encountered if a request to change an existing clearance is
submitted.
Airlines must understand that there is no guarantee or obligation that the available clearance(s)
advised in the SAQ message will be confirmed if and when the airline submits a formal request
using the SCR procedures.
All possibilities as used in SCR requests using Action Codes N or C/R can be used for these
requests for information.
When a clearance is available at the requested timings for a new slot allocation, the coordinator will
advise the airline using Action Code I.
When a clearance is not available at the requested timings for a new slot allocation, the coordinator
will advise the airline using Action Code U.
When a clearance is not available at the requested timings for a new slot but there is availability
close to these requested timings, the coordinator will advise the airline using Action Code U to
identify the requested timings and Action Code I on one or two data lines to indicate the potential
available times.
When a clearance is available at the requested timings for a revised clearance, the coordinator will
advise the airline using a combination of Action Codes H and I.
The existing clearance (C data line) is replaced by the H data line and the R data line is replaced
by one or more I data lines.
When a revised clearance is not available at the requested timings but there is availability close to
these requested timings, the coordinator will advise the airline using a combination of Action Codes
H, U and I to indicate the potential availability:
• Action Code H is used to identify the existing clearance (C data line) and must precede U lines
• Action Code U is used to identify the requested revised clearance (R data line) and must
precede any I lines
• Action Code I is used to identify the potential availability either before and/or after the
requested timings.
If no reasonable clearance is available for a revised clearance, the coordinator will advise the
airline using Action Codes H and U where the existing clearance (C data line) is replaced by the H
data line and the R data line is replaced by the U data line.

6.11.2 Slot and Schedule Information Request and Reply (SIR) Procedure
Airline Request
The airline transmits a SIR message with Action Code Q to a coordinator at the specified Level 3
airport to:
• request the status of its clearances submitted by the SCR procedures;
• request the status of the clearances held by other airlines.
The airline transmits a SIR message with Action Code Q to a schedules facilitator at the specified
Level 2 airports to:
• request the status of its schedule movements submitted by the SMA procedures;
• request the status of schedule movements held by other airlines.
Requests for information for multiple airlines cannot be included in the same SIR message.
There must be one SIR message per airline.
When submitting requests for information at the larger airports, the airline must be very precise in
specifying the information it requires.
Otherwise, it subjects those responding to the request to an unnecessary workload and the airline,
in turn, may receive large volumes of information that it did not require.

Coordinator and Schedules Facilitator Response
For Level 3 airports, the coordinator responds to the airline with a SIR message using Action
Codes H, O, P, T or U.
When an airline request is in the outstanding request database for improvement, the coordinator/
schedules facilitator may chose to indicate the originally requested timings using the Requested
Timings facility.
For Level 2 airports, the schedules facilitator responds to the airline with an SIR message using
Action Codes H only.
The schedules facilitator will not provide information on offers or pending acceptances.
Coordinators and schedules facilitators will always respond using the Schedule Information Line
and may use the Additional Schedule Information line to provide supplementary information.
If necessary, alternative transmission methods (e.g. diskette) may be used for large volumes of
data.

Outstanding Request Procedures
The Outstanding Request Procedures defined in this Section relate to the handling of outstanding
requests by airlines, coordinators and schedules facilitators and may be used throughout the
coordination process.
The Outstanding Request Procedures comprise:
• the Slot Allocation and Schedule Information Request and Reply (SCR) procedure;
• the Outstanding Request and Reply (WIR) procedure;
• the Outstanding Request Change Request and Reply (WCR) procedure.
Airlines must pay special attention between the use of the WCR and SCR procedures as both are
applicable within this Section.
Airlines are cautioned that the use of the wrong procedure may result in a detrimental effect on the
resulting schedules.

When a coordinator is unable to clear these slot allocation request, this will be confirmed to the
airline by a SAL message using Action Codes H, O or U.
The original slot allocation request (B, I, N, V, or Y data lines) will automatically be recorded in the
coordinator/schedule facilitators (where applicable) outstanding requests database for improvement.

C/R, M/R, C/I and M/I Procedures
When a coordinator is unable to clear the C/R, M/R, C/I or M/I slot allocation request, this will be
confirmed to the airline by a SCR message using Action Codes H or O.
The original slot allocation request (R or I data line) will automatically be recorded on the
coordinator/schedule facilitators (where applicable) outstanding requests database for improvement.
Prior to or during SC, the airline must advise the coordinator/schedule facilitator whether the
outstanding request is to remain in, or be deleted from, the outstanding requests database.
The airline should submit his preference in an SCR message prior to the start of SC.
Action Code P is used to advise that the outstanding request is to be maintained and that further
improvement is being sought.
Action Code A is used to advise that the offer is acceptable and that the original request can be
deleted from the outstanding requests database.

CHAPTER 6
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

355

Standard Schedules Information Manual
If there was more than one offer for the same request and there has been no response from the
airline, the coordinator will automatically confirm one of the offers and delete the others on the third
day of SC.
The coordinator must confirm this action to the airline immediately after the close of SC.
If the airline cannot attend the SC and has not accepted any offers within the prescribed timeframe, the coordinator will cancel all offers.
If two offers have been given and one of them is acceptable, the airline advises the coordinator
with a SCR using code A to indicate the offer being accepted.
If an improvement is still required, the airline sends an SCR using Action Code P against the offer
being sought for improvement. The original request (R data line) remains in the coordinators
outstanding requests database for improvement.
If the operator accepts the offer (O/H) with Action Code A, the coordinator/schedules facilitator
(where applicable) will remove the original request (R data line) from the outstanding requests
database.
If no contact is made prior or during the SC, the coordinator will inform the operator that all the
original slot allocation requests (R data lines) are in the coordinators outstanding requests
database for improvement using a WIR message.

6.12.2 Outstanding Request Information Request and Reply (WIR) Procedures
The WIR procedures allow an airline to request and to receive a response on the slot information
recorded in the coordinator/schedules facilitator outstanding requests database for either its own
outstanding requests or the outstanding requests of another airline.
They also allow a coordinator to advise an airline — on an unsolicited basis and at any time during
or after the SC — the status of the slot information recorded in the coordinator/schedules
facilitators outstanding requests database.
Requests for information will not be processed unless the airline designator in the Schedule
Information data line corresponds with an authorised teletype address or the generic E-mail
address as listed in SSIM Attachment 2.
Responses to Outstanding Requests Information requests must only be transmitted to the
originator of the request as specified in the Type B/email address.
Unsolicited Outstanding Requests Information requests originating from a coordinator/schedules
facilitator must only be transmitted to the authorised teletype address or the ‘generic’ E-mail
address of the airline holding an outstanding request at the specified airport.

Airline Request for Outstanding Request Information
The airline submits a WIR message to a coordinator at a specified airport using Action Code Q to
request the status of its outstanding requests (new and/or changes to existing clearances) or the
outstanding requests for other airlines operating at the airport.
The airline will specify the ‘search’ criteria as one or more of the following:
• all flights (arrival, departure or transit/turnout);
• all airlines or a specific airline;
• specific flight(s) for a specific airline;

6.12.3 Outstanding Request Change and Reply (WCR) Procedure
The Outstanding Request Change and Reply (WCR) Procedures are used by airlines and
coordinators/schedules facilitators to change outstanding requests.
These procedures allow an airline to:
• submit changes to their outstanding requests without impacting the existing clearance;
• maintain or delete the existing clearance and delete the outstanding requests held by the
coordinator/schedules facilitator in their database;
• request that a new slot allocation request be placed in the outstanding requests database of
the coordinator/schedules facilitator.
WCR may be used in standard telegraph messages or electronic data exchanges.
Replies will be transmitted solely to the originator of the request as per the generic email address.
Replies will not be transmitted unless the airline designator in the Schedule Information data line is:
• either identical to the airline designator Type B/email address of the originator;
• or corresponds to the additional authorised teletype address as listed in SSIM Attachment 2 for
the requesting carrier.

6.12.3.1 Airline Outstanding Requests
The airline uses one of the following procedures with the appropriate Action Code or combination
of Action Codes to request changes to its outstanding requests data.
Airline Outstanding Requests

Action Code(s)

Revision to Outstanding Requests

C and R or M and R

New Addition to Outstanding Requests

Z

C/R or M/R Procedure — Revision to Outstanding Requests
An airline uses the C/R or M/R procedure during or after the SC to request changes to the
Outstanding Requests database.
For each change to the outstanding request data, the airline submits a WCR message with:
• a data line with Action Code C or M to identify the Outstanding Requests recorded by the
coordinator;
• one or more data lines with Action Code R to indicate revisions to the Outstanding Requests
database.
The use of C/R or M/R indicates to the coordinator that the Outstanding Request currently
recorded is to be cancelled (C or M data line) and replaced by the revisions to the Outstanding
Requests database (R data line).

Standard Schedules Information Manual
A transaction consisting of multiple C and R or M and R data lines must include all C or M data
lines first followed by all associated R data lines. The total of such associated C or M with the R
data lines must not exceed ten lines.
However, subject to message length constraints, an unlimited number of transactions can be
contained in a single message.
Airlines must be aware that the C or M data line in a WCR message always refers to Outstanding
Requests and not to an existing clearance.

RAF2402 AF810 29MAR24OCT 1234567 290AB4 NCE0900 1020LHR JJ

N Procedure — New Addition to Outstanding Request Database
An airline uses the N procedure request that an existing clearance be added to the Outstanding
Request Database at a new time for possible improvement.
This also indicates to the coordinator that the existing clearance is to be maintained if no
improvement is possible.
For each new slot request to be added, the airline submits a WCR message with a data line with
Action Code N to identify the additional Outstanding Request.
Example
NAF2402 AF810 29MAR24OCT 1234567 290AB4 NCE0910 1030LHR JJ

Z Procedure — Delete from Outstanding Requests
An airline uses the Z procedure to delete the Outstanding Request recorded by the coordinator for
either existing clearances or for new slot allocation requests.
For existing clearances, the use of Z indicates to the coordinator that no further improvement will
be required.
When a clearance cannot be confirmed for new slot allocation requests, the use of Z indicates to
the coordinator that the Outstanding Request can be deleted as the clearance is no longer
required.

Airport Coordination/Schedule Movement Procedures
6.12.4 Coordinator Initiated SCRs and Outstanding Requested Times
The coordinator can initiate further action to times held in the outstanding request database using
SCRs. The SCR procedures must be used with //OUTREQ for the conditional special reference
line as outlined in Section 6.9. This may be undertaken without any request for improvement being
submitted by the airline.
The coordinator will advise the airline that the slot can be improved using Action Code O for new
offer in combination with Action Code H to indicate the slot currently held and Action Code U to
reflect the data in the outstanding request database.
Example

The airline can accept this improvement replying with Action Code A or P against the offer.
The airline can decline the offer using Action Code Z. In this case the coordinator will maintain the
slots held (as per the H line of the above example) and the originally requested time on the U line
will remain in the outstanding request database. The Coordinator will advise the airline of this using
an SCR with Action Code H/X as illustrated in the example below. Should further dialog between
airline and coordinator be necessary then the WCR procedure will be used (6.12.3).

6.12.5 Airline SCR/SMAs and Outstanding Requested Time Updates
The airline may use the Requested Timing Indicator on an SCR or SMA message to make updates
to the Coordinator's Outstanding Request database. This may occur when the airline knows the
Requested Timing is unavailable but also knows a less optimal slot time close to this time is
available and could be used for the operation if need be. Alternatively this may be used in a Slot
Swap message to update the Outstanding Request database.
When an airline provides outstanding request times using the requested timing indicator then the
coordinator should confirm the outstanding request times using the requested timing indicator in
the coordinator's response.

CHAPTER 7 — PRESENTATION AND TRANSFER
OF A SCHEDULE DATA SET
7.1

General
This Chapter describes the rules for formatting complete schedules for processing by computerized
systems. A complete schedule comprises all services operated under an Airline Designator for the
Period of Schedule Validity as specified in Record Type 2.
These rules define the formats of schedules stored on physical devices such as tapes and
diskettes and also to schedules to be transmitted between two computers.
Communication of schedules by direct computer-to-computer transmission depends on the
hardware and software used by each party and the standards for the transmission should be
agreed bilaterally.
Technical characteristics of physical devices may also be agreed bilaterally but some examples of
minimum standards are defined in the Technical Specifications section.
The rules have been constructed by the Schedules Information Standards Committee in close
liaison with the ATC Passenger Committee, a committee of the ATC (Air Traffic Conference of
America — Division of Air Transport Association of America, ATA). This definition can thus be
regarded as a world standard, equally usable for International IATA Carriers and for the American
Domestic Carriers, each with their own special requirements.
This schedule transfer will also involve other organisations, such as air traffic control authorities
and timetable agencies.
In order to facilitate industrywide acceptance, a range of optional features, such as the use of local
times, non-weekly flight indicator, meal codes, traffic rights/prohibition notes, free text Data
Elements, etc. have been included in the data formats.

7.2

Principles for the Transfer of Computerized Schedules

7.2.1

Data transfer takes place on a bilateral basis.

7.2.2

The data transferred must not be reforwarded to other parties unless permission is granted in a
bilateral agreement.

7.2.3

Unless bilaterally agreed, the SSIM Standards for transferring computerized schedules give only
the facility to transmit complete schedules. It is the responsibility of the recipient to select those
areas of the schedule which he requires, rather than for the sender to select parts of schedules.
This means that the recipient determines which parts of the schedule are relevant for his own
purposes and which parts of the schedule have changes since previous issues.
It is recommended that at least 360 days of advance schedules data, including Minimum Connect
Time data, should be distributed on an equal basis to all schedules aggregators, reservations and
ticketing systems in which a carrier participates, to maximise the efficiencies of such systems.

7.2.4

File or transmission may contain for any one carrier (represented by a unique Airline Designator)
sets of schedules of different status and period of validity. It is not obligatory to send schedules
within discrete IATA seasons. This is, however, recommended in respect of schedules for IATA
Schedules Conference.

7.2.5

Whenever a schedule is received the information contained supersedes all information covering the
same period on a previously received file.

CHAPTER 7
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

373

Standard Schedules Information Manual

7.3

Computerized Schedules constraints
Five Data Records have been defined. Each complete schedule is made up of a combination of
these five record types. Each record is 200 bytes long and is subdivided into Data Elements.
Each Data Element is expressed in a single fixed length format; it occupies a fixed position in a
record. The Data Element Status describes whether the information is mandatory, conditional or
optional, also how redundant information is to be padded, e.g. with blanks or zeroes. Incompletely
filled or unused Data Elements will be padded so that all records are 200 bytes long.
It is important to recognize that schedules may be sent in Local Time or UTC. A UTC/Local Time
Variation field is supplied for conversion from one standard to the other. This will mean that Local
Time oriented carriers (such as American domestics) can use this format to exchange schedules
between themselves in Local Time. Likewise, UTC oriented carriers can do the same in UTC.
Exchange between a UTC oriented user and a Local Time oriented user will be carried out in UTC
or Local Time by bilateral agreement:
All data will be expressed in EBCDIC or ASCII;
A blank should be equivalent to the space character, defined as hexadecimal 40;
A zero should be equivalent to the display zero character, defined as hexadecimal F0;
Records will be blocked in 5's, i.e. one block is equivalent to 5 × 200 byte records.

7.4

Record Organisation
Five Record Types are used. These are:
Header Record, Carrier Record, Flight Leg Record, Segment Data Record and Trailer Record.
1st Block — Header Record — Record Type 1 (Mandatory)
The first 200 bytes will comprise the record itself. The block will then be filled with 4 × 200 byte
zero records to the standard 1000 byte block length.
2nd Block — Carrier Record — Record Type 2 (Mandatory)
The first 200 bytes will comprise the record itself. The block will then be filled with 4 × 200 byte
zero records to the standard 1000 byte block length.
3rd and — subsequent blocks
The third block is used to commence expressing the schedule data. Subsequent 200 byte records
blocked in 5's will be used to describe the total schedule desired. If the schedule terminates in the
middle of a block, e.g. record 2 of block 41, then the block must be filled as appropriate with
200 byte zero records to the standard 1000 byte block length.
(a) Flight Leg Record — Record Type 3 (Mandatory)
(b) Segment Data Record — Record Type 4 (Conditional for Data Element Identifiers below 100
and Data Element Identifiers associated with Traffic Restrictions; Optional for others)
Other (Repeated) Record Types 3 and 4 before Trailer Record
Subsequent Block — Trailer Record — Record Type 5 (Mandatory)
The first 200 bytes will comprise the record itself. The block will then be filled with 4 × 200 byte
zero records to the standard 1000 byte block length.
Further sets of Carrier, Flight Leg, Segment Data and Trailer records may be included.
End of file will be marked by a further two standard length blocks containing only zeros, followed
by at least two physical tape marks.
Note: Segment Data Records should always immediately follow the Flight Leg Record to which
they refer. Flight Leg Records should be in Flight Designator order, within that by Itinerary Variation
Identifier, and within that by Leg Sequence Number.

Although no order is prescribed when multiple Data Element Identifiers follow the same Flight Leg
Record, the following is recommended:
— when multiple Segment Data Records apply to different Off Points, the Segment Data Records
should be ordered according to the occurrence of the Off Point in the itinerary;
— if multiple Segment Data Records apply to the same Off Point, they should appear together
and be ordered according to the numeric sequence of the Data Element Identifiers starting with
the lowest number.
However, systems should be able to process data elements in any order.

APPENDIX A
ATA/IATA AIRCRAFT TYPES
The Aircraft Types listed in this Appendix are designed for schedulers, airport authorities, and
airport coordinators. They are available for use both in the planning stage of scheduling as well as
in day-to-day operations. They also are recommended for public timetable purposes and for all
internal airline planning purposes.
Codes are included for all aircraft that are currently flown, or are soon to be flown, for commercial
scheduled or charter services only, or which have been announced by the manufacturer and for
which airline orders have been placed. In principle new aircraft type codes are only assigned when
the new aircraft has been certified.
There are two levels of codes:
(a) Aircraft Type codes
Each aircraft type is assigned a specific code. Within a group of aircraft covered by an Aircraft
Group code, multiple Aircraft Type Codes may be assigned where substantial differences (e.g.
fuselage length, wingspan, category) exist between different models of the same aircraft family.
However, Aircraft Type codes will not be assigned to differentiate technical characteristics of
an aircraft (i.e. engines, range, cockpit configuration etc.).
For certain categories of Aircraft Types, different codes have been assigned to reflect different
service characteristics (Passenger, Mixed Configuration, Freighter).
Aircraft Type codes are designed to be used wherever precision in the specification of aircraft
types is required. This applies especially in SSIM Chapter 6 applications.
(b) Aircraft Group codes
For aircraft sharing a family name, a common fuselage cross section and a common service
character (e.g. Passenger, Cargo or Mixed Configuration) a unique Aircraft Group code will be
assigned.
Aircraft Group codes are designed to be used wherever a lesser degree of precision in the
specification of aircraft types is required.

Aircraft Type Publication Override
When exceptional requirements exist to use codes not listed in Appendix A (e.g. to identify specific
types of trains), then the non-standard code should be stated using Data Element Identifier 121
(Aircraft Type Publication Override).
A valid Aircraft Type code should always be stated in the position reserved for Aircraft Type
specification.

Surface Equipment
Aircraft Type Codes have been included to specify surface vehicle categories to cater for such
passenger and cargo operations performed by airlines or Travel Partners.

APPENDIX A
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

387

Standard Schedules Information Manual

General Aviation
While some codes have been assigned to Aircraft Types serving General Aviation purposes,
Appendix A does not claim completeness in these assignments.
Requests for additional codes should be directed to the IATA Management in accordance with the
procedure described under “Revisions” below.
A generic General Aviation type code is available for use in the context of Appendix K only.

ICAO Codes
ICAO aircraft codes are included in Appendix A for reference purposes only in order to facilitate
conversion between IATA and ICAO codes. ICAO codes are used in the ATC environment and
should not be used in any procedure described in SSIM.
When a conversion of an IATA code involves multiple ICAO codes, an asterisk (*) is shown instead
of the ICAO code.
In cases where ICAO has not yet assigned a code for a new aircraft type, ‘ZZZZ’ is shown to
indicate that the ICAO assignment is still pending except for Freighter where no code will be
assigned and will be blank.

Category
Category of each Aircraft Type is indicated as follows:
H ...........
J ............
P............
S............
T............

Helicopter
Jet-engined aircraft (preceded by number of engines)
Piston-engined aircraft (preceded by number of engines)
Surface equipment
Turboprop-engined aircraft (preceded by number of engines)

Revisions
Requests for additions or amendments to the contents of this Appendix should be addressed to the
IATA Management (E-mail: ssim@iata.org) for consideration by the Schedules Information
Standards Committee.
Aircraft Types found to be out of use for a substantial time will be deleted as revised copies of the
Appendix are issued.

APPENDIX D
PASSENGER TERMINAL INDICATORS
Introduction
This Appendix lists airports which have been identified as having more than one PASSENGER
terminal or uniquely designated embarkation/disembarkation facility. A one-or two-character code
has been assigned to each Passenger Terminal or facility. The intent of airport terminal
nomenclature is to more clearly define departure/arrival areas for the benefit of the PASSENGER.
In producing this Appendix, the following criteria have been used to determine which airports
qualify as having more than one terminal.
(a) Terminals, including Train/Bus Stations, should be physically separated from one another or be
very well defined parts of an airport complex.
(b) If terminals are linked together, each facility must have unique terminal signage, otherwise the
various sections are considered to be concourses and not separate terminals.
(c) Terminals should be referred to as such by the authorities of the airport they belong to in their
publicity material.
(d) Terminals with different satellites may be included in this Appendix provided they are clearly
identified as such by the authorities of the airport they belong to in their publicity material and
must have proper signage within the terminal.
Notification of changes to Appendix D will be made available on the SISC webpage of the IATA
Skedlink site. In order to maintain sequential control the message heading includes a message
reference ‘APP/D/number/date’ e.g. APP/D/014/28OCT10. The revised information is presented in
the same format as in SSIM Appendix D tables.

Assignment Principles
The Passenger Terminal is identified by a one or two character code. In assigning codes, the
following principles have been used:
(a) Numeric and alphabetic characters only have been used.
(b) Terminals are identified in many different ways. Whenever possible, codes have been assigned
in a standard way:
Code
I .........................................
D .........................................
E .........................................
N .........................................
S .........................................
W .........................................
A, B, C etc. .........................
1, 2, 3 etc. .........................
Airline Designator ...............
First letter of surname ........

L ......................................... Budget/Low Cost
U ......................................... Shuttle
M ......................................... Main, Central etc.
H ......................................... Charter
R ......................................... Regional/Commuter
Z* ........................................ Other
*Z has been assigned to all other terminal identifications such as Marine, Inter-Island etc.
(c) One-character codes are always left justified, e.g. M (not M) and 1 (not 1).
(d) One-character codes have been assigned to avoid any possible confusion with Airline
Designators.
(e) If the terminal used by a flight at an airport included in Appendix D is not pre-determined, or
when different terminals apply to different passenger categories, the Passenger Terminal shall
be stated as 0 (zero).
(f) In general new terminal codes will be published at least one year prior to the terminal being
opened.

Revisions
Requests for additions or amendments to the contents of this Appendix should be addressed to the
IATA Management (E-mail: ssim@iata.org) for consideration by the Schedules Information
Standards Committee.

APPENDIX F
UTC — LOCAL TIME COMPARISONS AND ISO TWO
LETTER COUNTRY CODES
General
The Air Transport industry operates in an environment where local time and days vary from country
to country. With the added complication caused by many countries adopting Daylight Saving Time
during summer months, airlines require access to information displaying worldwide UTC (Universal
Time Coordinated) — Local Time comparisons.
Appendix F provides UTC Standard and Daylight Saving Time — Local Time variations for each
country where regular scheduled services operate.
While IATA is responsible for the administration of this Appendix, the information is deemed to be
‘the best available’ at the time of publication.
When a country changes its DST dates then this pattern will be used to determine each successive
DST date unless IATA is advised to the contrary by the country concerned.
The validity and use of the document relies entirely on the quality of the input, so your attention is
directed to the section headed AMENDMENT PROCEDURE.
It should be remembered that this Appendix is an essential data base to other SSIM Chapters,
particularly Chapter 7 in respect of the exchange of schedule data sets. For this reason alone, the
Appendix must be an unambiguous accurate statement of time variations throughout the World.
The large number of countries included in the Appendix is intended to accommodate the needs of
all first and second level air transport operators, for both on-line and connection purposes.

How To Use Appendix F Country Listing Showing
UTC — Local Time Comparisons
The Appendix is arranged alphabetically by country name, each followed by its International
Standards Organisation two letter country code. (Note that the country names are based on the
“Codes For the Presentation of Names of Countries” adopted by the ISO, but edited slightly for the
purposes of this Manual). Thus, it can be used to establish the ISO code for any included country.
A decode of ISO Country Codes appears at the end of Appendix F.
Each country's ISO Code is used as the basic element in the Time Zone code. Within their borders,
some countries have multiple Time Zones, each having a different standard UTC – Local Time
variation. In such instances, numerics are appended to the Country Code to uniquely identify each
basic Time Zone. Where variations in the application of Daylight Saving Time apply within a basic
Time Zone, an additional alpha character is added to form a unique code for each sub-zone.
For each unique Time Zone the Standard Variation to UTC is displayed as plus (+) or minus (−)
hours and minutes.
Example:
+0430 is 4.5 hours ahead of UTC;
−1100 is 11 hours behind UTC.

APPENDIX F
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

441

Standard Schedules Information Manual
Where applicable, the DST Variation to UTC is similarly quoted following the Start Time/Date and
End Time/Date, expressed in UTC, showing the period when DST is applied. A DST Start Time at
midnight (UTC) is expressed as 0000 and refers to the date just starting. A DST End Time at
midnight (UTC) is expressed as 2400 and refers to the date just ending. Three years DST
information is included.
Generally, the Time Zone applicable for each individual location can be determined from the
geographical description for each Time Zone. However, specific Local Time Zone airport
information for each individual Location Identifier should be obtained within the IATA Airline Coding
Directory.

Amendment Procedure
(a) Confirmed and planned amendments to Standard Times and Daylight Saving Times should be
reported to the IATA Management (Email: ssim@iata.org).
(b) Notification of changes to Appendix F will be made available on the SISC webpage of the IATA
Skedlink site. In order to maintain sequential control the message heading includes a message
reference ‘APP/F/number/date’ e.g. APP/F/011/28OCT10. The revised information is presented
in the same format as in SSIM Appendix F tables.

Country Listing Showing UTC — Local Time Comparisons
Countries are abbreviated in this Manual by the use of the following two letter country codes which
are based on the ‘Codes For the Presentation of Names of Countries’ adopted by the International
Organization for Standardization, but have been edited slightly for the purpose of this Manual.
The information below includes DST information for:
Northern Hemisphere summers 2011, 2012, 2013
Southern Hemisphere summers 2010/2011, 2011/2012, 2012/2013
and reflects changes up to message APP/F/012/20JAN11.

TRAFFIC RESTRICTION CODES TABLE
The next pages represent a complete table of Traffic Restriction Codes and their associated
appropriate texts. It gives a general definition of each code and detailed information on how the
Airline Guides and Computer Reservations Systems will publish and display restricted segments in
both passenger and cargo applications.
Traffic Restrictions apply on a segment basis. The codes in this table condense the expression of
the conditions under which traffic may be enplaned at the board point and/or deplaned at the off
point of the segment to which the restriction is applied. Direct flights should be published and
displayed for all restricted segments except restrictions A, I, K, N, O and Y, and additionally
restrictions M, Q, T, V, W and X in cargo/mail applications, as no local traffic is allowed.
Any connection which satisfies the applicable restriction should not have the appropriate text
displayed.
When a Traffic Restriction condition is applicable to a connection there is no distinction between
the airports within a Metropolitan Area. The Traffic Restriction condition is deemed to be applicable
to all airports.
Example:
AA 123
AA 456

FRA JFK
EWR PHX

Traffic Restriction Q (Intl Online Connection or Stopover Traffic)

JFK & EWR are part of NYC, but a connection between them should still be treated as online.
Traffic restrictions can be specified to apply only at the board point or the off point by using data
elements ‘Traffic Restriction Code Qualifier at Board Point’ and ‘Traffic Restriction Code Qualifier at
Off Point’ respectively, or can be expanded upon by using data element ‘Traffic Restriction Code
Information — Free Format’.
Traffic Restrictions which restrict carriage to Online Connecting Traffic mean that the Flight
Designators of the flights involved in a connection must both use the same Airline Designator for
the connection to be valid. The same rule applies when carriage is restricted to Stopover Traffic —
meaning that a valid Stopover can only be Online.
Default: In the absence of any information to the contrary, it is assumed that any Traffic
Restriction stated applies to all forms of traffic (passenger, cargo, mail) at Board and/or Off Point.

EXPLANATORY NOTES ON SSIM APPLICATIONS
General
The objective of the Standard Schedules Information Manual is to communicate information
relating to a flight or service without any ambiguity.
Apart from the essential information, like Flight Designators, Day(s) and Period of Operation,
Aircraft Type, routing and timings, additional information can be added for operational and
reservations purposes.
Each item has been allocated a particular position in the schedule information, and is called a ‘data
element’.
Each data element and its relationship to others with a common subject have been defined in
Chapter 2. For the implementation and the proper use of SSIM, it is important to be aware of such
relationships.
The objective of this Appendix is to explain and guide the treatment of particular cases that require
special attention or handling.
It is assumed, however, that the definition of each data element used in this Appendix is known or
can be referenced in Chapter 2.

AD HOC Schedules Messages in the Operations Control
Environment
References in this section are to schedule updates using ASMs.
The implementation of Ad Hoc Schedules Messages (ASM) in on-the-day Operations Control
Environment is increasing. The subsequent processing of these messages in both in-house and
external applications such as reservations, cargo and departure control applications, have created
a number of conflicts between the ideal scheduling philosophy of SSIM and real operational
situations.
Proposals for the resolution of the most typical situations are included below.
It should be noted that, for a clear understanding by human beings of the operational decisions
published by means of an ASM, the actions must be obvious and cannot be hidden behind any
technical solutions made possible by SSIM rules.

Schedule Information Processing
Operations Control decision makers must be aware of the basic restrictions that are to be followed
to enable other systems to process their scheduling information:
• no duplicate Flight Number/date from Origin Station in UTC;
• no duplicate Flight Number/date from Origin Station in local time;
•

no duplicate departure of the same Flight Number at the same station on the same local date
(except in case of diversion/forced return);
• no duplicate arrival of the same Flight Number at the same station on the same local date
(except in case of diversion/forced return);
(all duplications refer to schedule time and not to actual or estimated times as reported by
Movement Messages).

Operational Situations
Proposed solutions for typical operational situations:
• Cancellation of part of a flight by a CNL sub-message:
— cancellation of the first leg where the second leg departs with a date variation (removal of
the first leg would cause a change of Flight Identifier);
— cancellation of a middle leg (removal of this leg would break the routing continuity of the
flight).
The solution is a cancel action that leaves the leg in existence (commonly called FLIFO Cancel).
The reinstatement of such a cancelled leg to operating status is possible by an RIN sub-message
or by an RPL sub-message for the whole flight or by a RRT sub-message starting with the
departure Station of the cancelled middle leg as the point of rerouting.
For coordination purposes, previously cancelled slots cannot be assumed to be available for
reinstatement, but must be re-applied for.
• Diversion/rerouting of a flight:
The diversion of a flight with a pending operational decision as to its continuation (that could
potentially break the routing continuity) has no equivalent scheduling action.
After the decision to terminate the flight or to continue the flight to its intended or next/final
destination with a new schedule, the RRT sub-message should be used starting with the
departure Station of the diverted leg as the point of rerouting.

APPENDIX H
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

467

Standard Schedules Information Manual
The following special cases may require special solutions in a receiving application:
— diversion to current leg departure Station (return from airborne/forced return) i.e. routing
AAA-BBB becomes AAA-AAA-BBB;
The solution could be to accept the second departure as a revised departure time from that
Station ignoring the newly created leg AAA-AAA
— diversion/rerouting to a previous leg departure Station i.e. routing AAA-BBB-CCC-DDD
becomes AAABBB-CCC-BBB-DDD.
Currently most reservations systems cannot handle this situation.

Aircraft Seating Description
This section describes the relationship between the Aircraft Configuration/Version and the
Passenger Reservations Booking Designator and their associated information.
The seating layout of an aircraft may be categorised from either a technical/operational (physical
layout) aspect or a sales-oriented (reservations) aspect.
As these need not be identical, two different data elements exist within SSIM to specify the
physical layout description by means of the Aircraft Configuration/Version (ACV) and
reservations description by means of the Passenger Reservations Booking Designator
(PRBD).

Aircraft Configuration/Version (ACV)
The ACV specifies the different physical seats on an aircraft irrespective of how they are sold on a
flight. It is purely aircraft-related and does not change unless a physical re-arrangement of seats
takes place.
The ACV is always leg-oriented, and uses SSIM Class of Service Codes for specification.
In general, the number of seats fitted in the aircraft as specified within the ACV is also the number
of seats available for sale unless they are to be reduced by ‘Blocked Seats’ in each Class of
Service, e.g. crew-rest seats or stretcher.
If the saleable seating is less than the fitted configuration, Data Element Identifier 104 (Blocked
Seats and/or Unit Load Devices) should be used to explain the difference.
The ACV and its associated data are mainly used in the technical areas, in operations, and for seat
selection within check-in systems.
The ACV is also used to specify the cargo capacity on an aircraft, e.g. containers and/or pallets, or
to refer to an aircraft version reference code assigned by the airline.

Passenger Reservations Booking Designator (PRBD)
The PRBD specifies for each leg how the saleable seats on the aircraft will be used, i.e. which
seats will be sold to a certain passenger category.
The codes for the specification of these reservation categories may therefore differ from those
used for the physical description of the ACV if this is required for selling/reservations purposes.
It is important to note that the PRBD may change from leg to leg without changing the ACV.
The following items of information are associated with the PRBD and therefore use the same
booking class codes for specification:
• the data element ‘Meal Service Note’ defines the appropriate meals served in each class,
and,
• the data element ‘Passenger Reservations Booking Modifier’ (PRBM) indicates applicable
fare modifications, e.g. night class.
It is assumed that the information given by the PRBD, Meal Service Note, and the PRBM for each
individual leg on a multi-leg flight also applies to all possible city pair combinations of these legs
provided they are in consecutive order and that the information provided is identical.

468

APPENDIX H
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

Appendix H
In all other cases, the appropriate city pair information must be stated using the respective
segment override data elements for clarification.
These are:
• ‘Passenger Reservations Booking Designator Segment Override’ (Data Element Identifier 101);
• ‘Passenger Reservations Booking Modifier Segment Override’ (Data Element Identifier 102);
and
• ‘Meal Service Segment Override’ (Data Element Identifier 111).
In cases where both ACV and PRBD are used, the Meal Service Note shall apply to the PRBD.

Clearances/Movement Advices for Flights Partly Out
of Scheduling Season
Scheduling Seasons are predetermined, and, as such, all Coordinators and Schedules Facilitators
handle slot timings in accordance within Season date limits applicable to their respective airports.
At the changeover between Seasons, some services commence their final trip(s) within the current
season on the Friday and/or the Saturday and complete them on the first days of the next Season,
i.e. either the Sunday and/or the Monday.
If the timings at any airport are not identical for both scheduling Seasons, it becomes necessary to
submit a separate clearance/advice for this (these) itineraries in the new Season at the time
SCRs/SMAs are submitted for the next IATA Schedules Conference.

Commercial Agreements Between Two or More Airlines
This Section includes procedures to notify data recipients of the existence of the following
agreements.
• Wet Lease
• Joint Operation
• Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation (DEI 9)
• Operating Airline Disclosure — Code Share (DEI 2)

APPENDIX H
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

471

Standard Schedules Information Manual
Additional examples have been provided for:
• Describing Code Share & Wet Lease Situations
• Using Multiple names when a combination of Code Share and Wet Lease situations exist

Wet Lease
A wet lease operation is one where the aircraft is not part of the fleet of the Administrating Carrier
and/or the crew is not employed by that carrier.
The aircraft/crew lessor or leasing carrier may be disclosed to potential passengers.
Where it is a legal requirement, it is mandatory to disclose a Wet Lease Airline.
The method used for disclosing a Wet Lease is the same as that used for Shared Airline
Designation.
Use data elements Aircraft Owner, Cabin Crew Employer, Cockpit Crew Employer as
appropriate.
→ Refer to ‘Operating Airline Disclosure – Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation (DEI 9)’ below.
→ Refer to ‘Operating Airline Disclosure – Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation (DEI 9)’ and
‘Operating Airline Disclosure – Code Share (DEI 2)’ below for how to handle cases of combined
Wet Lease and Code Share.

Joint Operation
Joint Operation is where two or more carriers jointly operate a service using one aircraft on any
one leg of a flight. There is one Administrating Carrier and one Reservations Control Carrier with
one Flight Designator irrespective of the number of participating carriers.
Use data element Joint Operation Airline Designators to specify a joint operation of flights
or legs of flights.
To specify a Joint Operation on Segments consisting of more than one leg (multi-leg segments)
requires the use of Data Element Identifier 125 (Joint Operation Airline Designators Segment
Override) in Chapter 4, 5 and 7.
Example:
Carrier XA operates a flight 901 over itinerary AAA-BBB-CCC-DDD.
The leg AAA-BBB is a joint operation with carrier XB, segment BBB-DDD is jointly operated
with carrier XC.
The Flight Designator of the service will be XA901.
The Joint Operation Airline Designators for the leg AAA-BBB will be XA/XB (XA is the
Reservations Control Carrier and is listed first).

The Data Element Identifier 125 (Joint Operation Airline Designators Segment Override) can also
be used to indicate the absence of a Joint Operation on a Segment by overriding the given leg
information with a single Airline Designator.
Example:
Carrier XA operates a flight 901 over itinerary AAA-BBB-CCC.
The legs AAA-BBB and BBB-CCC are jointly operated with carrier XB but on the segment
AAA-CCC no Joint Operation is defined.
The Joint Operation Airline Designators for the legs AAA-BBB and BBB-CCC will be XA/XB
(XA is the Reservations Control Carrier and is listed first) with the implied XA/XB for the
segment AAA-CCC overridden by the single Airline Designator XA specified by use of Data

General
In all cases of Operating Airline Disclosure where multiple agreements might be in place, Airlines
need to verify exactly what details they need to disclose and the type of code share agreement
operated.
It may be that the type of code share agreement could require different data elements to those
data elements needed to disclose the operator of the service.
Questions that should be asked:
• What is the type of code share agreement I have in place
• Is this a Code Share or Wet Lease
• Who is my code share partner
• Is my partner using a designator
• Is there a need to disclose the operator of the service when the operator is now different to the
administrating carrier.

Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease
Designation
Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease operations identify where one carrier
operates flights or flight legs on behalf of another carrier using the Airline Designator of the
Administrating Carrier.
Such agreements are prevalent where a smaller commuter airline provides feeder service to a
carrier's hub, or gateway, and in franchise style operations.
— The Administrating carrier's Airline Designator is exclusively used to market the flights and also
denotes that it is the Administrating Carrier and Reservations Control Carrier;
— The flights will not be supplied as flights of the Operating Carrier;
— It is intended that one flight entry under the Administrating Carrier designator will be displayed
in receiving systems and GDS displays.
Note: Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation data will not
necessarily be applied to all legs of a flight. Hence recipients of this data must take notice a flight
may contain some legs operated under a Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet
Lease Designation agreement, and some that are not.

Note: Shared Airline Designation data will not necessarily apply to all legs of a flight. Hence,
recipients of this data must take notice that segments of such a flight may contain some legs
operated under a Shared Airline Designation agreement and others that are not.

Operating Airline Disclosure — Code Share
Operating Airline Disclosure — Code Share agreements allow seats/space to be sold by one or
more other airlines with each airline using its own flight designator to provide a service
More than one Flight Designator will be used to display these services for a single operating flight.
This will include at least one service under the Airline Designator of the Administrating Carrier, and
at least one service under the Airline Designator of another ‘non-operational’ flight
Each participant will be a Reservations Control Carrier for the seats/space sold under its own Flight
Designator and is responsible for the information passed to Reservations Systems and other
recipients of such flight data
It is, therefore, possible that Flight Number, Aircraft Type Code (Aircraft Group code instead of
Aircraft Type Code), Class of Service Codes and, in certain respects, arrival/departure times may
vary carrier to carrier amongst participants.
Non-operational carriers must use the Operating Airline Disclosure — Code Share data element to
specify the actual operating carrier.

Code Sharing — Multiple Names
Multiple Names may be required when using Data Element Identifier 127 in Chapters 4, 5 and 7.
When there is a requirement to disclose an Airline name and a corporate (or network) name, it is
recommended that the form “AIRLINE X DBA ABC EXPRESS” be used where ‘DBA’ means
‘doing business as’.
This may occur in commuter or express style operations.

Standard Schedules Information Manual
When Code Share and Wet Lease conditions exist on the same flight, and there is a requirement
to disclose both Airlines, it is recommended that the form “AIRLINE ABC FOR AIRLINE XYZ” be
used.
AIRLINE ABC is the Airline providing the aircraft and crew and is actually operating the flight
(the Wet Lease Carrier) AIRLINE XYZ is the Airline which is the operating carrier (code share
partner) in an Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation agreement.
For example, if flight OS 123 is actually operated by airline DB aircraft and cockpit crew on behalf
of airline VO that has an Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation
agreement with OS. Then airline OS would, when distributing the schedule for flight OS 123, use
the disclosure format BRIT AIR FOR TYROLEAN AIRLINES.
In this example, Brit Air is the full name for DB, and Tyrolean Airways is the full name for VO.
The same principle would apply if the Code Share arrangement was an Operating Airline
Disclosure — Code Share rather than an Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet
Lease Designation.
When Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation and Operating
Airline Disclosure — Code Share conditions exist on the same flight, and there is a requirement to
disclose both Airlines, it is recommended that the form “AIRLINE ABC FOR AIRLINE XYZ” be
used.
AIRLINE ABC is the Airline providing the aircraft and crew and is actually operating the flight (the
Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation Carrier) AIRLINE XYZ is
the Airline that is the operating carrier in an Operating Airline Disclosure — Code Share.
For example, if flight OS 123 is actually operated by airline DB under an Operating Airline
Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease Designation between airlines OS and DB and airline VO
also markets the flight under their own Flight Designator as VO 789, then airline VO would, when
distributing the schedule for flight VO 789 use the disclosure format ‘BRIT AIR FOR AUSTRIAN
AIRLINES’.
In this example, BRIT AIR is the full name for DB, and AUSTRIAN AIRLINES is the full name for
OS.
When using a full company name, or multiple names, be aware that some computer systems have
limitations on the number of characters they can store/display.
As such, specifications of more than 35 characters may be truncated.

Code Sharing — Code Sharing and Wet Lease Handling
in Chapters 4, 5 and 7
The following section summarises the procedures to handle Code Sharing and Wet Lease
operations in Chapters 4, 5 and 7.
When there is a legal requirement to disclose the Actual Operator of the flight, and the Actual
Operator is different from the Administrating Carrier and the Aircraft Owner, use of one of the
following procedures becomes mandatory.
Chapters 4 and 5 Applications
For disclosure of the following situations;
1. Operating Airline Disclosure — Code Share
use Data Element Identifier 2 for the Airline Designator of the Operating Carrier;
if a full name is required, specify “X” in Data Element Identifier 2 and use Data Element
Identifier 127 to provide a free text statement of the disclosure required.
2. Operating Airline Disclosure — Shared Airline or Wet Lease
use Data Element Identifier 9 for the Airline Designator of the Operating Carrier;
if a full name is required, specify “X” in Data Element Identifier 9 and use Data Element

Daylight Saving Time
Chapters 4 and 5 format
All date and leg schedule information is expressed in either UTC or Local Time depending on the
Time Mode provided in the Message Heading.
When receiving schedule data through SSM/ASM messages, the recipient may have to assume his
own system's UTC/Local Time Variation tables in order to establish the applicable reciprocal times
and dates.

Chapter 4 only
If the schedule data provided extends across DST or LT, changes may become ambiguous to the
receiver what conversion will be required, especially in the case of open-ended schedules. It is
therefore recommended to use a definite end period to avoid any miscalculations or interpretations.

APPENDIX H
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

479

Standard Schedules Information Manual
Chapter 7 format
The Leg Departure Data and Leg Arrival Data includes the UTC/Local Time Variation for the
stations involved. This provision enables the recipient of the data set to process the data using
either UTC or Local Time as the basis for updating his own systems irrespective of the Time Mode
provided in Record Type 2, byte 2.

General Information
When a data set is produced, it is particularly important to ensure that any changes to the
UTC/Local Time Variations are accurately reflected to avoid any miscalculation of local timings
being made by the recipient of the data.
Such changes may be a result of the start and/or end of Daylight Saving Time, or a planned
change of Standard Local Time, occurring during the validity of the data set as specified in the
Period of Schedule Validity in Record Type 2.
For each Flight Itinerary, this is achieved by creating as many Itinerary Variations as necessary,
with appropriate Period of Operation start and end dates for each change to the UTC/Local Time
Variation occurring within the flight's overall Period of Operation.
When the data set is valid indefinitely (end date of Period of Schedule Validity is “00XXX00”), it is
recommended that any Flight with indefinite validity, has sufficient Itinerary Variation created with a
definite end date in the Period of Operation. This will then reflect accurate UTC/Local Time
Variations, and avoid any miscalculations or interpretations.
These Itinerary Variations would be established for a minimum of one year and a maximum of
three years from the start date specified in the Period of Schedule Validity.

Default
There are two methods of establishing defaults within SSIM.
The first is by the rules defined in each Data Element entry in Chapter 2.
The second is by using separate Data Elements to allow the default to be specified.
The nature of the Data Element is likely to dictate which default method is used.
It could also be argued that all Conditional Data Elements have a default mechanism since they
are not required (default) unless the specified conditions exist.
The following data elements have a default mechanism:
Data Element
Aircraft Owner
Cabin Crew Employer
Cockpit Crew Employer
Electronic Ticketing Information
Frequency Rate
In-Flight Service Information
Minimum Connecting Time
International/Domestic Status

Passenger STA
Passenger STD
Traffic Restriction Code

Where the countries of origin and destination of
the leg are different, the status is international.

→ Refer also to Appendix H: Legs/Segments — Segment Default Assumptions.

Duplicate Flight Legs
For commercial/technical reasons, it is sometimes necessary for the itinerary of two or more Flight
Designators (not necessarily within the same carrier) to include one or more common legs
operated by one aircraft.
It is necessary for the recipient of data to be able to distinguish the operational Flight Designator
from the duplicate Flight Designator(s).
The distinction of operational versus duplicate Flight Designator is represented by the use of
Data Element Identifier 10 (Duplicate Leg Cross Reference — Duplicate Leg Identification) and/or
Data Element Identifier 50 (Duplicate Leg Cross Reference — Operational Leg Identification).
Unless the common (duplicated) leg(s) are saleable under each of the Flight Designators where
they are shown, the appropriate Traffic Restriction Code applies to the leg(s) (and any segment(s))
of those Flight Designator(s) where the carriage of traffic is restricted.
The existence of Traffic Restriction Codes alone will not convey the operational versus duplicate
Flight Designator relationship.

Standard Schedules Information Manual
Example 1:
Assume the physical operation of an aircraft routing DFW-BHM-HSV-DFW.
Flight Designator AAA306 is scheduled DFW-BHM-HSV and Flight Designator AAA305 is
scheduled BHMHSV-DFW.
The operational Flight Designator for the leg BHM-HSV is AAA306.
Solid lines indicate aircraft movement.
Dashed lines indicate the flight schedule.

The Flight Designator AAA305 BHM-HSV must have Data Element Identifier 50 stating that Flight
Designator AAA306 is the Operational Leg.
The Flight Designator AAA306 BHM-HSV shall have a Data Element Identifier 10 stating that
Flight Designator AAA305 is a duplicate.
Example 2:
Assume the physical operation of an aircraft owned by airline ABC operating as Flight
Designator ABC123 VIE-FRA and the physical operation of an aircraft owned by airline DEF
operating as Flight Designator DEF456 FRA-JFK.
It is desired to show Flight Designator DEF456 VIE-FRA-JFK (where airline DEF has leased
space from airline ABC on the VIE-FRA leg).
ABC has traffic rights VIE-FRA.
DEF has full traffic rights VIE-JFK and FRA-JFK and online stopover traffic rights VIE-FRA.
The operational Flight Designator for VIE-FRA is ABC123.

The Flight Designator DEF456 VIE-FRA must have a Data Element Identifier 50 stating that
Flight Designator ABC123 is the operational leg.
Traffic Restriction Code ‘T’ applies to VIE-FRA.

Example 3:
Composite Flight (see Chapter 1 — Definitions)
Assume that the physical operation of two separate flights operated by airline ABC route SLCATL using Flight Designator ABC454, and ATL-LGW using Flight Designator ABC12.
It is desired to show a through flight SLC-LGW using a Flight Designator that is different from
both the Flight Designators used on the constituent legs which make up the through flight —
for example, ABC6062.
Flight ABC6062 is known as a Composite Flights.

When information for Flight Designator ABC6062 is being transmitted, it must show both
physical legs under Flight Designator ABC6062.
Each leg shall have a Data Element Identifier 50 stating the Flight Designator of the
operational flight for that leg — ABC454 for the leg SLC-ATL, and ABC12 for the leg ATLLGW.
Traffic Restrictions shall be applied to the individual legs/segments under Flight Designator
ABC6062 to ensure that they are not displayable under more than one Flight Designator.
Flight Designators ABC454 and ABC12 shall have a Data Element Identifier 10, stating that
Flight Designator ABC6062 is a duplicate.
The result of this should be that the following Flight Designators are displayed:
SLC-ATL
SLC-LGW
ATL-LGW

ABC454 (ABC6062 for this leg is suppressed/non-operational)
ABC6062
ABC12 (ABC6062 for this leg is suppressed/non-operational)

Note that the operational flights need not have the same Airline Designator as the Composite
Flight.

Note that a Funnel Flight may be built in either direction, from many legs into one segment
(as in the example above), or from one leg into many segments.
Example 5:
Change of Equipment en Route (see Chapter 1 — Definitions)
On a multi-leg flight, a Flight Designator need not relate to the operation of one single aircraft.
Normally, a change of equipment en route is evident from the Aircraft Types used on each leg
of the flight.
If, however, there is a change from one aircraft to another of the same type, the Data
Element ‘Plane Change without Aircraft Type Change’ (Data Element Identifier 210) shall be
used.

484

APPENDIX H
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

Appendix H
Referring to Example 3 above relating to a Composite Flight, assume that flight ABC6062
SLC-ATL-LGW uses Aircraft Type L10 on the SLC-ATL leg, and M11 on the ATL-LGW leg.
There is a change of equipment at ATL from L10 to M11.
Although passengers must physically change aircraft, their Flight Designator remains the same
throughout the journey — ABC6062.
ABC6062
SLC ..................................

..................................LGW (Flight Designator)

M11

------------ATL------------

------------LGW (Equipment)

If, however, the Aircraft Type were M11 for both legs of the flight — SLC-ATL and
ATL-LGW — but passengers must still physically change aircraft at ATL, it would be
necessary to use Data Element Identifier 210 as follows:
ATLLGW 210
ABC6062
SLC....................................
M11
SLC ------------

....................................LGW

(Flight Designator)

M11

------------ATL ------------

Note that the data element is used on the leg where the Board Point has the Plane Change,
i.e. in this case ATL:
Also, stating the Data Element Identifier 210 is all that is required as this implies the condition
that passengers have to change planes at ATL.

Electronic Ticketing Information
The concept of Electronic Ticketing, or ‘Ticketless Travel’, promises faster and simpler reservations
and Airport Handling for air travel, as well as a reduction in distribution costs.
In order to facilitate this, and to make it available on an Interline basis, it is necessary to provide
Industry standards for transmitting information:
• whether a flight leg is, or is not, a candidate for Electronic Ticketing — i.e. whether
reservations can be accepted without a paper ticket being issued; and,
• whether both the origin and destination airports of the leg can handle customers who do
not have paper tickets.
It is essential that Airlines, CRSs and Agents have this information available when a booking is
made to be able to offer an Electronic Ticketing service to the customer, or be advised of the
Carrier's ticketing acceptance of only Electronic Tickets.
The codes used in SSIM to specify this information are:
EN …… Not Electronic Ticketing Candidate
ET …… Electronic Ticketing Candidate
In Chapters 4, 5 and 7, these codes are used in conjunction with Data Element Identifier 505.

APPENDIX H
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

485

Standard Schedules Information Manual
Carrier Defaults
To save the Carrier having to specify for every leg whether it is, or is not, a candidate for Electronic
Ticketing, a means of allowing a Carrier to specify their default position is required.
This can be achieved in SSIM in three ways:
(i) For Chapter 7, by specifying “ET” or “EN” in bytes 189 and 190 of Record Type 2.
(ii) By bilateral agreement between the parties concerned.
It is not possible to specify a default for a Carrier using Chapters 4 or 5, because the SSM and
ASM messages may not be a complete transmission of a Carrier's schedules, and there is no
Carrier specific header to use.
It is therefore assumed that the Carrier will already have transmitted this information using
Chapter 7 or that they have reached a bilateral agreement with the recipient as to their default.
Chapters 4 and 5 can be used to transmit specific Electronic Ticketing Information for the legs
and/or segments specified using Data Element Identifier 505. (See Appendix H, ‘Electronic
Ticketing Information’ and ‘Legs/Segments’.)
In the absence of any default information for a Carrier, the default assumed will be that that
Carrier's flight legs are not eligible for Electronic Ticketing.

Electronic Ticketing for Segments
The Electronic Ticketing Information data element is specifically a LEG BASED data element.
The determination that a segment of a passenger's journey is a candidate for Electronic Ticketing
has to be deduced from the sum of the information provided for all the legs contained within the
journey.
For a flight travelling on an itinerary AAA-BBB-CCC, segment AAA-CCC can be an Electronic
Ticketing Candidate only when both legs AAA-BBB and BBB-CCC are designated as Electronic
Ticketing Candidates.
Examples:
(i) Carrier's default is that its legs are Not Electronic Ticketing Candidates (EN). Itinerary is
AAA-BBB-CCC, with all legs eligible for Electronic Ticketing. Carrier sends code ET for
both legs AAA-BBB and BBB-CCC. AAA-BBB, BBB-CCC, AAA-CCC are all eligible for
Electronic Ticketing.
(ii) Carrier's default is that its legs are Not Electronic Ticketing Candidates (EN). Itinerary is
DDD-EEE-FFF, with only leg DDD-EEE eligible for Electronic Ticketing. Carrier sends
code ET for leg DDD-EEE. DDD-EEE is eligible for Electronic Ticketing. DDD-FFF and
EEE-FFF are not eligible for Electronic Ticketing.
(iii) Carrier's default is that its legs are Electronic Ticketing Candidates (ET). Itinerary is AAABBB-CCC, with all legs eligible for Electronic Ticketing. Carrier does not need to send any
further Electronic Ticketing Information. AAA-BBB, BBB-CCC, AAA-CCC are all eligible for
Electronic Ticketing.
(iv) Carrier's default is that its legs are Electronic Ticketing Candidates (ET). Itinerary is DDDEEE-FFF, with only leg DDD-EEE eligible for Electronic Ticketing. Carrier sends code EN
for leg EEE-FFF. DDD-EEE is eligible for Electronic Ticketing. DDD-FFF and EEE-FFF are
not eligible for Electronic Ticketing.

Appendix H

Fictitious Points
The definition of Flight Number states that a flight cannot originate more than once on the same
day (see Chapter 2 — Flight Number).
This rule presents a problem when one flight itinerary encounters a date change and the adjacent
day's flight itinerary does not have the same date change characteristics.
When this problem occurs, a non-operational leg must be used to prevent the problem of
originating more than once on the same day.
It is therefore recommended that fictitious Stations be used to create the non-operational leg.
It is necessary to define this leg as non-operational by use of a fictitious point. When such a
fictitious point (see SSIM Chapter 2 — Station) is used at the beginning or the end of a routing, the
leg(s) containing such a point is deemed as non-operational.
It should be noted that segments with fictitious Stations are deemed never saleable.
If another Station isused for creation of a non-operational leg, Traffic Restriction Code “A” must be
specified for all segments using this Station as Board/Off Point.
The following examples deal with problems in local time mode.
It is possible for the problem not to exist in local time mode but still exist in UTC time mode.
→ Refer to Appendix H: Time Mode for the use of Operational Suffix “Z” to correct the problem.
However, carriers not wishing to use the Operational Suffix “Z” may use the non-operational leg
principle to overcome problems also in UTC time mode.
Example 1:
Both itineraries operate over a common leg but one itinerary originates one Station upline of
the other.

A problem occurs in this schedule because a day change occurs between ZRH and LHR and
therefore two flights originate on the same day of the week (day 7).
This problem can be overcome by adding a fictitious point as Station of origin (QPX) with a
UTC variation compatible to the point of origin of the other itinerary (ZRH).

In the examples used below, a flight routing AAA-BBB-CCC is used.
AAA-BBB and BBB-CCC are the legs that make up the multi-leg segment AAA-CCC.
As many data elements are specifically LEG BASED, it is necessary to clarify the data that can be
assumed for a multi-leg segment.
In general, no assumptions can be made.
The underlying concept for leg based data elements is that the data being provided for a leg is only
valid for that specific leg.
For example:
The aircraft travels physically by leg such that the Aircraft Configuration/Version (ACV) may
differ by leg, or be the same for both legs (AAA-BBB and BBB-CCC).
There is no ACV for the segment AAA-CCC as such and if the ACV differed by leg, it would be
meaningless.
The passenger however, travels by segments where there may be a Selling Class applicable to
the segment AAA-CCC. The Selling Class may not be applicable to any or both of the legs that
comprise the segment.
A multi-leg segment must normally be seen as the data being provided separately for
each leg.
A further example of this might be In-Flight Service Information, where leg AAA-BBB is shown
as code “9” (Nonsmoking) and leg BBB-CCC as code “8” (Smoking).
The passenger travelling AAA-CCC should expect the first leg of the flight to be ‘Non smoking’
and the second leg to be ‘Smoking’.
If no In-Flight Service Information was provided for the leg BBB-CCC, no assumption can be
made as to whether it is ‘Smoking’ or ‘Non smoking’.
In both cases, the multi-leg segment data is simply the sum of the data for the two legs —
AAA-BBB ‘Non smoking', BBB-CCC ‘Smoking’ or no information.

Segment Override Data Elements
Some leg based data elements have complementary segment override data elements.
For example, a flight might have Meal Service Note code “S” for all classes on each leg (AAA-BBB
and BBB-CCC).
The assumption here is that a passenger travelling AAA-CCC will get a Snack on each leg of the
flight, i.e. two Snacks in total.
However, a Meal Service Segment Override data element might be used to state code “M” for the
segment AAA-CCC.
In this case, the passenger travelling AAA-CCC will get one Meal instead of the two Snacks.
This principle applies whether the data is the same for each constituent leg, or whether it differs
by leg.
The following leg based data elements have complementary segment override data elements:
Data Element (leg based)
Joint Operation Airline Designators
Meal Service Note
Minimum Connecting Time International/
Domestic Status
Passenger Reservations Booking Designator
Passenger Reservations Booking Modifier
Passenger Terminal Identifier — Arrival
Passenger Terminal Identifier — Departure

Data Element (segment override)

Meal Service Segment Override
Minimum Connecting Time
International/Domestic Status Override
Passenger Reservations Booking Designator
Segment Override
Passenger Reservations Booking Modifier

Passenger Terminal Identifier Segment
Override — Arrival
Passenger Terminal Identifier Segment
Override — Departure

Segment Default Assumptions
The following data elements are leg based, but also have rules about assumptions that can be
made about information for related multi-leg segments:
Electronic Ticketing Information
A multi-leg segment can be an Electronic Ticketing candidate only if all of its legs are set as
Electronic Ticketing Candidates.
→ For further information, refer to Appendix H: ‘Electronic Ticketing Information’ and
‘Legs/Segments’.
Passenger Reservations Booking Designator
A default assumption can be made when the PRBD Segment Override data element has not been
used.
For example, a flight having a PRBD of CDSBM on leg AAA-BBB, and SBM on leg BBB-CCC, may
have no PRBD Segment Override data element stated for AAA-CCC.
In this case, it should be assumed that the PRBD stated for the leg which has the same Board
Point as the multi-leg segment (in this case AAA-BBB) is used — CDSBM in this example.
It is strongly recommended, however, that the PRBD Segment Override be used in such cases, in
order to ensure data is complete and unambiguous.
→ For further information, refer to Chapter 2, Passenger Reservations Booking Designator.
In all cases, it is the responsibility of the sender to ensure that information being
transmitted is complete and unambiguous.

Minimum Connecting Time
Minimum Connecting Time are governed by the Passenger Services Conference (PSC)
RESOLUTION 765: CONNECTING TIME INTERVALS — PASSENGER AND CHECKED
BAGGAGE

Definition
For the purpose of Resolution 765, In a passenger context, Minimum Connecting Time (MCT)
interval is defined as the shortest time interval required in order to transfer a passenger and his
luggage from one flight to a connecting flight, in a specific location or metropolitan area.
In a cargo context, the Minimum Connecting time (MCT) can be defined as the shortest time
interval required in order to transfer cargo shipment from one flight to a connecting flight. Minimum
Connecting Time (MCT) intervals are also referred to as ‘official’ or ‘standard’ MCTs.
Bilateral MCT agreements are known as ‘MCT exceptions’.
Online connecting time intervals established by a carrier that differ from the industry MCTs are also
known as MCT exceptions.
The administration of MCTs is governed by IATA PSC Resolution 765 which is as follows:

RESOLUTION 765
CONNECTING TIME INTERVALS — PASSENGER AND CHECKED
BAGGAGE
RESOLVED that:
1. Members serving the airport(s) of each city shall establish a Local Minimum Connecting
Time Group (LMCTG) for purposes of recommending new or changes to minimum intermodal
connecting time intervals at such airport(s). The group shall consist of all scheduled airlines and
railways serving the airport. The basic objective of agreed connecting time intervals is to protect
both the delivering and receiving Member's interests and ensure that the passenger and his
baggage can rely on making connections between airlines and railways serving the airport.
For the purposes of this Resolution,
MINIMUM CONNECTING TIME (MCT) INTERVAL means the shortest time interval required in
order to transfer a passenger and his luggage from one flight to a connecting flight, in a specific
location or metropolitan area.
Intermodal connections involving a railway service shall be only considered if such railway
service has been assigned an airline flight number.
2. At cities served by IATA Members and by Members of the Air Transport Association of
America (ATA) who are not IATA Members, such ATA Members shall be invited to participate as
voting Members of the LMCTG.
At cities served by railways and airlines, where passengers transfer between each mode of
transport, and where intermodal agreements exist between railways and airlines, such railway
operators shall be invited to participate as voting Members of the LMCTG. The voting rights of
railways shall relate only to action concerning connections between airlines and railways serving
the airport or providing connections between the airport and the city location (train station).
3. At cities where an Airport Operators Committee (AOC) [IATA Airport Handling Manual
Resolution 020] exists and where no LMCTG exists, such AOC can take on the duties assigned
to the LMCTG in this resolution, provided the different stakeholders are duly represented at the
AOC as they would in the LMCTG.
While occasionally Airport Authorities can act as facilitators in establishing local MCTs, the tasks
described in this resolution are the unique responsibility of the LMCTG.
4. Each LMCTG shall be governed by the following rules:
4.1 the LMCTG shall elect a chairman;

490

APPENDIX H

Appendix H
4.2 in determining MCT intervals, the Group shall take into consideration the following factors,
where applicable:
4.2.1 physical and operating characteristics of the particular airport, e.g. air traffic delays, ramp
and baggage sorting area congestion, history of on-time performance, terminals, specific flight
origin and/or destination region (such as Schengen countries), customs/immigration ‘preclearance’ situations, etc.;
4.2.2 time to unload baggage from delivering carrier's aircraft or designated railway service and
transport to its sorting area;
4.2.3 time to sort and transport baggage to receiving carrier;
4.2.4 time for receiving carrier to assemble, sort, transport and load baggage on its aircraft or
train;
4.2.5 time for all government/airline/railway imposed security measures (where applicable) to be
completed as noted in Resolution 744, Attachment ‘B’;
4.2.6 time for passengers (and their baggage when such arrangements exist) to be processed
by the receiving carrier;
4.2.7 the times established in 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.4 and 4.2.5 shall be published locally by the
LMCTG so that carriers and railways are conscious of time constraints for each individual task,
and are therefore aware of the time limits which they are expected to meet;
4.2.8 in establishing MCTs, members shall be guided by Resolution 744;
4.2.9 time for passenger and baggage to clear immigration and customs controls, etc.;
4.2.10 time for passenger to proceed to receiving carrier taking into consideration surface
transportation time between terminals and/or airports when applicable;
4.2.11 minimum passenger check-in time for receiving carrier;
4.2.12 time for any other local factor(s).
4.3 after selecting the factors affecting the MCT, using the above as a guide, the Group
will allocate a time to each factor and on this basis arrive at the MCT. As far as practicable,
MCT intervals should be standardised for all categories of flights with the least possible
number of exceptions. MCTs shall be established only in five minute increments, e.g. 30, 35,
40 minutes, etc.
4.4 action of the LMCTG (including election of a Chairman) shall be by simple majority vote of
all Group members serving that airport (only one vote permitted per LMCTG member).
4.5 in case of disagreement within the group in respect of the MCTs between different terminals
at the same airport, all of the receiving Members serving a particular terminal and present at the
meeting, shall determine the required MCTs to their terminal.
5. Immediately after each LMCTG meeting at which new or changes to intermodal MCT
intervals are recommended, the LMCTG members will communicate without any delays the
revised MCT to their respective MCT coordinators (as listed in SSIM Attachment 3) Within
ten (10) days the MCT Coordinators will advise their respective LMCTG member whether they
agree or not to the recommended new or changes to the MCTs.
The LMCTG Chairman, once he as been informed that the new or changes to intermodal MCTs
intervals have been accepted by the different MCT coordinators, will advise the IATA
Management (Email: SSIM@iata.org).
6. Nothing in this Resolution shall preclude LMCTG Members from making bilateral agreements
with other airlines or railways for shorter or longer intermodal MCT intervals in those cases
where particular circumstances of their special arrangements/situations make this possible or
necessary. Exceptional bilateral MCT exception filing practices are outlined in the IATA Standard
Schedules Information Manual (SSIM). Each MCT coordinator is responsible for communicating
and distributing those exceptional MCTs according to recognised industry practices. In case of
disagreement between the two parties in respect of any such exceptional MCT values, the
receiving Member's point of view shall govern, and be recognised by the industry as the
exceptional MCT value.

7. All Members, railways and CRSs shall book and accept connecting reservations based on the
established MCTs.
8. The MCTs for each airport shall be reviewed at least once a year by the LMCTG. If the
revision leads to new/modified MCT intervals, procedure established in 5 shall be followed.
9. Upon receipt of the final report referred to in Paragraph 5, the IATA Schedules Service
Department shall immediately notify, the CRSs, the data aggregators, and other industry
stakeholders.
The effectiveness date of such changes as specified by the LMCTG concerned shall not be
earlier than sixty (60) days after receipt by the IATA Schedules Service Department.
10. All communications concerning MCTs, between Members and IATA shall be made through
the Member's designated MCT Coordinator in accordance with the IATA SSIM.
11. This Resolution shall not be applicable at cities served exclusively by ATA Members, even
though some of the ATA Members may also be Members of IATA; provided that the necessary
co-ordination shall be maintained between ATA and IATA for the publication of MCT intervals
established by ATA Members.

General
As required by Resolution 765, MCTs must be observed by all ticketing and reservations outlets all
over the world and also are used as input for automated reservations systems. It is therefore of the
utmost importance to ensure that they are correctly established, updated and uniformly quoted at
all times wherever they are published.

Designation of MCT Coordinator in Each Airline
In order to ensure proper coordination of MCTs, each airline is requested to designate a MCT
coordinator. The coordinator's name, mailing address and teletype or cable address must be
submitted to the IATA Coding Administrator, e-mail: airlinecoding@iata.org. Any change to this
information should be sent to IATA promptly. The MCT Coordinator Contacts are listed under
Attachment 3 of SSIM.

Changes to MCTs
Establishment of and changes to MCTs are governed by the provisions of IATA Resolution 765.
For the purpose of applying Resolution 765, MCT Coordinators will be requested to advise their
respective Local Minimum Connecting Time Group (LMTCG) member whether they agree or not to
the recommended new or changed MCTs.
For the normal yearly review of MCTs and for any special review, Resolution 765 provides for
notification to IATA Management (Email: SSIM@iata.org) not later than sixty (60) days prior to the
intended effectiveness date of the agreed or established MCTs.
The Resolution requires that IATA communicates the new or amended MCTs and the effectiveness
dates thereof. Such information will be sent to CRSs, data aggregators, and other industry
stakeholders.
IATA does not publish MCTs, but acts only as a worldwide industry coordinator for all MCTs. MCTs
are published by the data aggregators. The data aggregators and CRSs will not accept notification
of new or revised MCTs directly from the airlines.

Bilateral MCT Agreements
Resolution 765 indicates that airlines are responsible for their own bilateral agreements with other
airlines or railways for shorter or longer intermodal MCT intervals in those cases where particular
circumstances of their special arrangements/situations make this possible or necessary.
The following additional rules have been established in order to ensure uniform administration of
MCT exceptions.
MCT exceptions do not change any standard times set by the industry. A carrier must bring
suggestions for changes to MCT standard times at an airport to the attention of the appropriate
industry body.

492

Appendix H
Establishing MCT Exceptions
MCT exceptions can be lower or higher than the standard MCT at an airport.
An MCT exception can also ‘suppress’ (block) a connection from being made at the stated connect
point for the specified status combination.
Examples of Current Rules that may be applied in an MCT exception database (and that are
currently in place with the Data Aggregators):
Include airport code and relevant status:
(a) Airport code where potential connection will occur
Example: SYD
Connect point where carrier has an MCT exception
(b) Relevant status for the MCT exception
DD — Domestic to Domestic
DI — Domestic to International
ID — International to Domestic
II — International to International
Example: SYD ID
The ID status exception condition will apply to a flight that arrives SYD internationally (I) and
connects to a flight leaving SYD domestically (D).
MCT exceptions can also be established according to factors such as inter-terminal, inter-airport,
transborder, Schengen countries, specific flight number (ranges), aircraft types, etc.

MCT Involving Code Share partners
Bilateral MCT exception applied to code share operations shall be established using the Marketing
carrier designator.
There is no automated Industry Rule or agreement or automated mechanism in place to transfer an
MCT exception made for an operating flight; onto any code share partner marketing the operating
flight under their own designator.
One reason an automated process would not be used, is that there would be no guarantee that a
change made to one carrier's flights will work on another.
Code share MCT exception cannot denounce Operating carrier exception. If a code share MCT
exception undercuts the Operating carrier MCT exception, then the carrier filing the exception shall
be recognised as the delivering carrier.
Note:
• Carriers need to decide ‘does my MCT exception affect my code share partner’
• Communicate to Code Share Partner
• Code Share Partner may need to submit the same exception

Current Practice for Submission of MCT's
The aim of an MCT exception database held by Data Aggregators is to hold Carrier Minimum
Connecting Time (MCT) information that is different from the standard times set by industry bodies.
MCT exceptions agreed bilaterally between two airlines (and therefore not of a general nature,
because they affect only the connections between those two airlines) should be notified directly by
the airlines concerned to the data aggregators. However, the notification by one party requires the
concurrence of the receiving carrier.

Standard Schedules Information Manual
When the carrier sending in the proposed MCT exception is the receiving carrier* , the MCT
exception can be added to the Data Aggregators database immediately.
When the carrier sending in the proposed MCT exception is not the receiving carrier*, the Data
Aggregators must have approval from the receiving carrier before the MCT will be added.

Partial Cancellation of Flights
Chapter 5 allows the cancellation of single flight legs that are part of a multi leg flight by using
ASM/CNL with a Flight Leg(s) Change Identifier.
As mentioned in Chapter 5, partial cancellations may lead to Flight Designator duplication
problems.
Even the use of ASM/RPL cannot resolve such duplication problems completely as shown by the
following example:
Example:
LH3444/14JUL
J 733.C123
HAM0645 FRA0750
FRA0830 MUC0925
MUC1010 BUD1125
QQQQQQ 503/9
Cancellation of the second leg FRA/MUC splits up the flight.
It leaves two flights with the same Flight Identifier Date remaining.
LH 3444/14JUL (part 1)
LH 3444/14JUL
J 733.C123 DABWH
HAM0645 FRA0750
HAMFRA 503/9
LH 3444/14JUL (part 2)
LH 3444/14JUL
J 319.C126
MUC1010 BUD1125
MUCBUD 503/9
or one flight without airport continuity:
LH 3444/14JUL
J 733.C123
HAM0645 FRA0750
(FRA0830 MUC0925 cancelled)
MUC1010 BUD1125
HAMFRA 503/9
MUCBUD 503/9
The problem of such duplications may also arise where the first leg is cancelled and the identifier
date of the second leg does not equal the Flight Identifier Date from the original flight origin.
Such flights cannot be processed in accordance with ASM rules.
To enable automated data exchange during the operations control time frame, it would be helpful
to transmit complete flight information with all associated legs by using ASM/RPL Messages and
assigning cancel status “XXXX” to those legs concerned.

Processing flights in this way ensures that:
• Schedule information is complete with all associated data, e.g. references to marketing flights,
traffic restrictions etc.,
• Complete set of segment information for the cancelled leg(s) can be accessed,
• Key information remains unchanged, automated processing is possible,
• Flight identifier duplications do not occur,
• Reinstatement of the entire flight is easily possible.

Partnership Specification
The following matrix is provided for guidance as to the application of Data Element Identifier 11
(Partnership Specification) in Computer Reservations Systems displays and publications.
Partnership Specification can be disclosed in a code bilaterally agreed between partnership
carriers and distributing systems.
However, where space allows, it is preferred to disclose a partnership name for marketing
recognition.
For screen display an indicator (for example ** as used in the table below) that multiple matches
exist can be used to avoid displaying the same trip multiple times using each partnership match.
This helps to avoid screen padding.
In the tables below, aaaa, bbbb and cccc are used to denote different airline partnerships, “Y”
equates to ‘Display’ and “N” equates to ‘Do Not Display’.

Appendix H

Time Mode
The main purpose of the Manual is to define standard schedule data. Handling procedures on how
the information is processed internally by the recipient are not defined.
Information transmitted by a sender can be open to ambiguous interpretation by the recipient if not
working under the same set of assumptions as the sender.
As a result, the input information may be accepted and falsely interpreted and then likely to incur
penalties.
The ambiguous information is often returned to the sender for clarification and thus incurring
additional costs to both parties.
To lessen possible sources of ambiguity with time applications, it is recommended that UTC times
and days be used for the exchange of schedule information.
Airlines may, however, bilaterally agree to exchange their data in local times and days.
This section attempts to describe some possible sources of ambiguity.
When the Scheduled Time of Aircraft Departure (STD) is stated in Local Time and the recipient
converts to UTC, or vice versa, the Period of Operation may need to be adjusted to maintain the
correct Days of Operation around season boundaries and across Daylight Saving Time changes. If
this is not done correctly, a lost day of operation and/or a day duplication may occur.
Note throughout this section the application of the rule defining Flight Number in Chapter 2, and
particularly note that this rule applies to ALL STATIONS IN THE ROUTING of a flight. This means
that, for ANY given STATION on ANY DATE a Carrier may have:
• NO MORE THAN ONE departure of a Flight Number in UTC time mode;
• NO MORE THAN ONE arrival of a Flight Number in UTC time mode;
• NO MORE THAN ONE departure of a Flight Number in LOCAL time mode;
• NO MORE THAN ONE arrival of a Flight Number in LOCAL time mode.

UTC/LT Relationship
For SSMs, the relationship between the (effective) Period of Operation expressed in UTC, and the
(effective) Period of Operation expressed in Local Time (LT), should not be changed for an
operating flight.
(If a cancellation causes a break in a chain of services, it may then be acceptable that a fresh input
should imply a different UTC/Local Time Period of Operation relationship to that existing before the
cancellation.)
Similarly, for ASMs, the relationship of Flight Identifier Date expressed in UTC and in LT should not
be changed. This also applies where an ASM modifies a flight previously submitted by an SSM.
Extra care has to be taken when a timing change by ASM changes the UTC day and results in two
services with the same Flight Identifier on the same UTC day.
Since the local time day does not change, no problem exists for reservations systems.
A scheduler may be tempted to use local time to avoid the UTC day problem but this does not
solve the problem. The correct manner would be to show the service with the Operational
Suffix ‘Z’.
The Operational Suffix ‘Z’ applies to the UTC version of schedules and may be suppressed in
commercial publications and systems that use LT for display purposes.
Suffix ‘Z’ may be used in a data transmission regardless of whether the Time Mode used is UTC
or LT.
If data is transmitted in LT and the receiving system needs to convert it to UTC, the lack of
Suffix ‘Z’ may cause problems when UTC day/date duplications occur.

UTC Flight Number Duplication due to Daylight Saving Time
Airlines working on a Local Time basis should consider the problems that may be created for
recipients working in UTC regarding Daylight Saving Time.
Example:
Flight XYZ123 operates SYD-AKL with a year-round local departure time 1030 from SYD.
Considering the application of Daylight Saving Time, the UTC schedule for the period

However, in UTC Time Mode, there would be two flights departing on 26OCT02.
In order to overcome flight identification problems, a solution is provided by the separation of one
of the two operations by the application of Operational Suffix ‘Z’.
The ‘Z’ Operational Suffix may be suppressed from display in Local Time representations of the
schedule, e.g. for reservations and publications purposes.

This may not be a complete solution since the level of sophistication of the computer system
receiving the information may not be known. Receiving systems may have to allow for manual
intervention to process messages such as those described above.

UTC Flight Number Duplication at Origin or Individual Stations
The basis of SSIM reference to a flight is the UTC and local date at the point of origin and Flight
Numbers may therefore not be duplicated. This is also the case for arrivals and departures at each
individual Station included in the itineraries of the same Flight Number.
However, the Reservations and Sales Systems are interested in segments that can be sold on a
Local Time basis.
This means that each segment must be uniquely identifiable on a Local Time basis.
It frequently occurs that flights contain ambiguous information when considered on a UTC basis.
This problem comes up more frequently on daily flights or flights operating on consecutive days:
Flight XY789 operates three times weekly SYD-MEL-HKG and four times weekly MEL-SYD-HKG
with the same Flight Number for commercial reasons.
The local time schedule is:

There are two originating XY789 flights on days 246 in UTC Time Mode and two XY789
departures at MEL on days 246. There is no duplication in Local Time mode.
Whilst it would be preferable to use a different Flight Number, commercial considerations may not
allow a flight number change.

In this case, the Operational Suffix ‘Z’ should be used on one of the flights to ensure that the flight
can be handled in the receiving carrier's system on a UTC-basis.
The suffix ‘Z’ may be suppressed from displaying in the LT version of the schedule or in
reservations systems.
• Days 246 XY789Z SYD 0030 …
• Days 2467 XY789 MEL2315 …
Problems can also arise at en-route Stations on daily flights with the same routing each day, either
caused by Daylight Saving Time change or having different departure times on one or more days.

There are two AB123 flights arriving in SIN on days 36 in UTC Time Mode. There is no
duplication in Local Time mode.
Again, whilst it would be preferable to use a different Flight Number on days 36, commercial
considerations may not allow a flight number change.
The Operational Suffix ‘Z’ should again be used, on days 36, to ensure that the flight can be
handled in the receiving carrier's system on a UTC-basis.

Local Date Duplication
The use of Operational Suffix ‘Z’ does not solve duplicate day problems in Local Time mode.
Therefore the following situations require the use of a different Flight Designator since the day
duplication appears only in the local time schedule affecting commercial publication and
reservations systems.
— Airline XY operates a daily service XY991 LAX-HNL-AKL, departing Los Angeles at 2000 LT
year round and from Honolulu at 2330 LT (0930 UTC) from early April to late October (Summer)
and 0030 LT (1030 UTC) from late October to early April (Winter) because of local time
changes at LAX.
Every year, at the change-over from winter to summer, there will be a duplicate service on the
change-over day with the last winter flight leaving at 0030 LT and the first summer service at
2330 LT.
The first summer service would have to use a different Flight Designator e.g. XY9911.
— Airline DL operated a daily service DL072 LAX-JFK-FRA-ATH.
During the scheduling season, the service was extended to originate at HNL and thus
maintaining the daily service between LAX and ATH at all times.

While there was no problem with the UTC schedule, the local time schedule had the two flights
originating on the same day and this is not acceptable in reservations systems.
After the schedule change, the new routing would require a new Flight Designator to overcome the
problem.
Airline AB operates a daily service AB123 SYD-SIN-LHR. It departs SYD at 1600 Local Time
(0600 UTC) on days 12457, and at 1700 Local Time (0700 UTC) on days 36.
The Local time schedule is:

There is no problem with the UTC schedule, but the Local Time schedule has two flights departing
from SIN on days 47 and this is not acceptable in reservations systems.
A new Flight Designator is required for the flights which depart SYD days 36 in order to overcome
the problem.

Summary
When day duplications occur in regular schedules or on an ad-hoc basis, problems can be
overcome by use of:
— A different Flight Designator if it occurs in local time mode only.
— Operational Suffix ‘Z’ if it occurs in UTC mode only.
It should also be noted that the use of leading zeros does not create a different Flight Number.
For example, Flight Numbers 123 and 0123 are the same.

Traffic Restriction Code Qualifiers 710-712
The following presents examples of applying the following data elements on Traffic Restrictions:
• DEI 710 — Traffic Restriction Qualifier at Board Point;
• DEI 711 — Traffic Restriction Qualifier at Off Point;
• DEI 712 — Traffic Restriction Qualifier at Board and Off Points.
Traffic Restrictions not including one of these Data Element Identifiers relate to the Board Point
and/or the Off Point. DEI 710-712 make the Traffic Restriction specific to the Board Point
(DEI 710), the Off Point (DEI 711) or both the Board and Off Points (DEI 712).
The examples show various combinations of Segments, Carriers, Traffic Restrictions and Traffic
Restriction Qualifiers. The Traffic Restriction Qualifiers have been illustrated to reflect their DEI
number. DEI 710 is shown to the left of the applicable Traffic Restriction, DEI 711 is shown on the
right while DEI 712 is shown on both left and right to emphasize that the qualifier applies to both
Board Point and Off Point.

Appendix H

Train Stations At Multi-Terminal Airports
Some multi-terminal airports have more than one train station.
For example, LHR has one train station serving terminals 1, 2 and 3, and another serving
terminal 4.
This means that the schedule for a train service that serves both the LHR train stations will have
more than one scheduled arrival and/or departure at LHR on the same day.
This can not be achieved under the same Flight Number - see definition of Flight Number in
Chapter 2.
For example, Flight Designator 2E123 on routing QQP-LHR(TN)-LHR(4)-QQP(where TN and 4 are
the Passenger Terminal Indicators).
This is clearly in contravention of the definition of Flight Number whereby the 2E123 has two
scheduled arrivals and two scheduled departures from LHR on the same day although occurring at
different Terminals.
In reservations and publication systems, the recommended solution is to split the schedule into
2E123 QQP-LHR(TN)-QQP, and 2E124 QQP-LHR(4)-QQP.
The 2E123 would be treated as the operating flight, and the 2E124 would be treated as a Duplicate
(non-operational) flight.
Data Element Identifiers 10 and 50 and Traffic Restriction Codes should be used as appropriate.
→ Refer to Appendix H : Duplicate Flight Legs.

Withdrawal of AD HOC Schedule Changes
One of the SSIM principles regarding schedule updates is the precedence that ad hoc updates
(ASM — Chapter 5) take over schedule changes, using SSM (Chapter 4) or SSIM Schedule Data
Set (Chapter 7) features.
There are two different initial steps to realize the ad hoc priority in EDP schedule systems by either
a one level or a two level database.
In a two level data base solution, the master data (SSM and data sets) are kept in one level and
the ad-hoc data (ASM) are kept in a logically different level.
This allows a combined view of the current schedule data, where ad hoc schedules take
precedence over the master data. It also allows a view onto the pure master data as they are kept
unchanged by ASM schedules.
In a one level data base all ASM updates change the existing schedule data and are flagged as
ad hoc to retain priority over master updates (i.e. the master changes are made around the ad hoc
dates).
There are two possibilities to withdraw ASM-type updates:

ASM Withdrawal Indicator (see also Chapter 2 ASM Withdrawal
Indicator)
The ASM Withdrawal Indicator (XASM) is used within SSM messages to wipe out all existing
ad hoc schedule information for the appropriate Flight Designator and the relevant Period/Day(s) of
Operation, potentially replacing it with new schedule information.
XASM is only to be used in conjunction with Action Identifiers SKD/NEW/RPL/CNL.

CDG0850 MRS1005

Change Reason Code RTNS (see also Chapter 2 Change Reason)
The Change Reason Code RTNS is used within ASM messages to reinstate the ‘original’ (basic)
schedule.
This procedure requires the reconstruction of the master data, therefore restricting the use of the
RTNS facility to Action Identifiers NEW, RPL and CNL only in the case of a one level data base.
Irrespective of the precedence of ASM schedule data for the same flights, two level data bases
maintaining the master data intact are able to process the RTNS facility in conjunction with all
Action Identifiers.
Action Identifier NEW is required to reinstate a flight cancelled by ASM.
It must contain all the data to reconstruct a one day master period.
The ad hoc flag has to be eliminated.

and to open it for further master updates.
The ad hoc flag has to be eliminated.

Action Identifier CNL is only required to cancel an additional flight created by ASM and to open
this flight for a potential creation by master input.
Example:
ASM
LT
23AUG00423C003/REF 045/92
CNL RTNS
LT120/12DEC
In every case, the ad hoc flag has to be eliminated in order to remove the precedence of the

APPENDIX K
GENERAL AVIATION SLOT CLEARANCE REQUEST
General
The requirement for General Aviation to obtain slots at Coordinated Airports and the lack, in the
main, of these aircraft operators having their own Flight Designator has led to a hybrid of systems
being used for General Aviation Slot clearances.
The following information aims to provide a generic message type for the request for, amendment
of and deletion of slots by General Aviation operators and the relevant Coordinators.
The message is called the GCR - General (Aviation) Clearance Request.

GCR Message Principles
Mandatory Principles
The following list of principles applies to the GCR message:
• The GCR message does not have a season indicator in the header.
• The GCR message only uses ICAO codes for aircraft and airports.
• The GCR message does not contain a frequency rate indicator.
• The GCR message creators reference use REG or FLT to indicate use of registration or a
flight number.
• The GCR message is only to be used after the relevant SHD (Slot Handback Deadlines) –
see the IATA Website, http://www.iata.org/sked, for a free copy of the Worldwide
Scheduling Guide which list these dates.
• The GCR message uses the following action codes described in Chapter 6 of SSIM:
GCR Message
Airline
C Schedule to be changed
D Delete schedule
N New schedule
R Revised schedule
•

•

APPENDIX K
ISSUE DATE: MARCH 2011

Coordinator
H Holding
K Confirmation
U Refusal
W Unable to reconcile flight information
X Cancellation

The GCR message for domestic (same country) flights where slots are required at both
departure airport and arrival airport will contain the slot request for both these airports
within one message.
For GCR communication using E-mail the GCR message should be in plain text placed
directly in the E-mail body. No attachments or special characters should be used.

531

Standard Schedules Information Manual
Optional Principles
The following list of principles will apply to the GCR message. However these may be amended as
per the notes below as long as this has been agreed in advance by the operator and relevant
coordinator on a bilateral basis or due to the implementation of a Local Airport Rule.
• The GCR message is in UTC (Local Time may be permitted on bilateral agreement
using /LT in Creators Reference Line)
• The GCR message is in single day format only (Periods of operation may be allowed on
bilateral agreement)
• The GCR will not contain an overmidnight indicator (This may be incorporated in the
message when periods are allowed on a bilateral basis)
• The GCR has no turnaround information (This may be permitted on a bilateral basis
usually when stand/apron coordination is required)
• The GCR message may use all relevant tags listed in SSIM Appendix J, including the
specific GCR only related tag ‘Airport Slot ID(s)’
• The GCR message may contain an email address in the creators reference to facilitate
automatic response from the Coordinators system.

Message Use/Flows
New slot request
Operator:
The Aircraft Operator will decide on whether to use a Flight Designator plus Flight Number or the
Aircraft Registration. The Operator will also need to determine if there is a requirement to clear
both departure and arrival slots on the same message. This occurs in the case where the flight is
operating within the same country (domestic flight) and both departure and arrival airports are
Coordinated Airports. (See first examples below)

Airport Slot ID TAG example
Certain coordinators will use the Airport Slot ID tag from Appendix J for their General Aviation Slot
clearances. The Airport Slot ID tag consists of 14 alphanumeric characters. The first 4 characters
are always the 4 letter ICAO code of the airport for which the slot has been allocated followed by
10 other alphanumeric characters. The meaning of these characters will be dependent on the
structure devised by the coordination organization that issued the slot. However they will always be
unique to the arrival or the departure for the operator on the specific date at the specified airport.
The type of Airport Slot ID used is at the discretion of the coordinator, either the ‘ID’ format for a
flight or the ‘IDA’ / ‘IDD’ format for a turnaround flight where separate IDs are used for the arrival
and departure flights.
When used by the coordinator the Operator must repeat the Airport Slot ID tag and number on all
subsequent GCR messages as it becomes a mandatory field.

Translation of ICAO aircraft and airports into IATA format for
standard Chapter Six messages
There will be instances when Airlines or other business partners request information about the
slots held by individual coordinators using standard SSIM Chapter 6 message formats such as SIR
and WIR. In these cases, the slot information held in the coordinators database using ICAO codes,
specifically aircraft and airports, will need to be translated into IATA formats to meet the SSIM
Chapter 6 message format requirements.
Currently all ICAO aircraft and airports do not have a one for one equivalent under IATA's coding
practise so generic codes will be used for the translation purposes where necessary.
The Generic Code for Carrier Code is – GN
The Generic Code for General Aviation Aircraft is – GAA
The Generic Code for Airports is – XUD
When using the Generic Carrier code, the Coordinator's system will create a flight number for the
General Aviation flights sequentially starting from 001. This numbering will only be created within
the particular SIR/WIR message. Flights therefore may have different numbers in subsequent
messages.
An example of an SIR using the above codes is shown below:
