GCR – stands for General (Aviation) Clearance Request /REG - can type in any reference after REG – eg. REG CCCC or REF CCCC VHHH – This is the code for Hong Kong Airport SI – stands for special information end of message, can type in any additional information after this code

Please note there is no need to type in the aircraft registration twice for departure in case of pair leg slot requests.

For requests using single leg format, please ensure a space is left before the aircraft registration for departure flight:

The ICAO 4-letter airport code should be used instead of IATA 3-letter airport code. Seat numbers shall be in 3 digits

Any deviation from the format will slow down the clearance process; your cooperation will be highly appreciated.
