Hello guys,
I'm making a small game that works like an airport operations simulator, and I got to the point that airlines want to reserve a slot for their aircrafts in a certain airport, my question is, how does the airport decide the appropriate time slot and time length to reserve for the airline?
as an example, lets assume that the airport already has a busy schedule up to say hour 13:00 of a certain day, and an airline requests to use the airport for its aircraft which is attempted to arrive at 13:00, how much time will the airport reserve for this airline? I have done some reading about it and I'm a bit confused, will the airport reserve enough amount of time for the aircraft to simply use the runway to land? which is from what I read 5 minutes (in Europe), or will it reserve the complete period from the aircraft's landing, taxiing to the gate, processing etc. etc., a period which can differ from one aircraft to another?
Thank you all in advance
