Each member has one single vote. The Managing Director (and at the same time Head of Coordination) is specifically appointed to perform airport coordination and slot monitoring duties with his team, independently from the Board. | The costs are mainly covered by airport coordination or schedule facilitation service fees equally paid per landing by all airlines or aircraft operators operating on any airport being coordinated or schedules facilitated by COHOR in France. Airports collect the coordination or facilitation service fees on behalf of COHOR with the airlines and aircraft operators. Specific arrangements are made for airports coordinated or facilitated for exceptional circumstances (refer to COHOR's Website). COHOR's budget for fiscal year 01 APR 2017-31 MAR 2018: 1.73M€ | SLOTIX - The Slot Coordination tool was designed by COHOR and developed by a software company, Cambridge On Line. COHOR owns the IPR of the software. SLOTIX is available to interested coordinators or facilitators.
COHOR also developed jointly with the German Coordination an on-line coordination software : e-Airportslots.aero. This free of charge web interface can be used by airlines for coordination but also for General and Business Aviation slot requests mainly via Ground Handling agents at French coordinated airports or directly by authorized operators. Via e-Airportslots.aero airlines can manage their slot portfolios on several airports around the world. e-Airportslots.aero is now managed by an association of coordinators : IACS (International Airport Coordination Support) based in Belgium. All coordinators or facilitators using a coordination software with interfacing capabilities using IATA XML webservices can be connected to e-Airportslots.aero. |
