Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE/LIPZ) is the principal commercial airport serving Venice and supports scheduled, business and non-scheduled operations. ASM coordinates VCE flight support through its 24/7 operations desk, aligning applicable permits, slots or PPR, ground handling, parking, Jet A-1 fuel, crew logistics and passenger arrangements for each movement.
Information reviewed: 9 September 2026. Confirm the current national AIP, NOTAMs, airport procedures and supplier availability before operation.

Why should VCE handling and parking be planned together?
Airport acceptance does not by itself confirm the stand, ground time or full handling scope. Provide the aircraft dimensions, schedule and required services so the provider can assess parking, equipment and turnaround capability together.
ASM’s flight support team tracks outstanding confirmations as one operational plan rather than treating each service in isolation.
Italian permits, slots and airport requirements
The required process depends on operator status, flight purpose, traffic rights and aircraft. ASM coordinates applicable landing-permit and airport requests, but a slot or permit should not be treated as confirmation of parking, handling or fuel.
Review aircraft, routing or timing changes through ASM flight permit support before revising only the handler or passenger schedule.
Ground handling and parking at VCE
The service request should define ramp handling, passenger and crew processing, baggage, ground equipment, water and lavatory service, catering delivery, transport and any special assistance. Confirm capability for the aircraft type and schedule.
Parking is separate from permits and slots. State whether the aircraft will turn, remain overnight or reposition. ASM coordinates ground handling with the accepted provider.
Jet A-1 fuel and turnaround planning
Send the registration, aircraft type, ETA and ETD, fuel grade, estimated quantity and release or billing instruction. Reconfirm the uplift when the route, payload or schedule changes.
ASM’s aviation fuel services coordinate supplier acceptance and delivery timing with the handler. General availability is not a confirmed uplift.
Weather, seasonal demand and water-side access
Weather and seasonal demand can influence the passenger programme, handler workload and ground transport.
Customs, immigration and quarantine at VCE
International movements may require customs, immigration and other border-control processing. Requirements depend on the origin, destination, passenger status, aircraft operation and current authority procedures. ASM coordinates the applicable ground arrangements with the appointed handler; final clearance remains with the relevant authorities.
Operating restrictions and NOTAM checks at VCE
Review current airport operating hours, noise procedures, NOTAMs and any temporary restrictions before confirming the movement. Seasonal traffic or local operating constraints can affect acceptance, parking and turnaround timing, so current airport and AIP information should control the final plan. Aviation decisions remain based on current operational information; onward water or road transport must be separately accepted and timed around the confirmed flight schedule.
Crew logistics and schedule disruption
Plan accommodation, transport and reporting time around crew duty and the confirmed airport arrangement. A delayed arrival or revised departure can require the permit, slot, parking, fuel and local services to be reconfirmed.
What information should operators send ASM?
Provide the operator, aircraft type and registration, MTOW, routing, ETA and ETD in UTC, purpose of flight, passenger and crew totals, ground time, fuel uplift, handling scope, parking requirement and any cargo or special-service details.
Frequently asked questions
Does VCE require a landing permit?
Requirements depend on operator status, traffic rights, aircraft, origin and purpose. ASM reviews the mission and coordinates applicable submissions; the relevant authority retains approval.
Are slots, PPR or airport acceptance required at VCE?
The applicable control can change by operation type and traffic period. Confirm the current AIP, NOTAMs and airport instructions for arrival and departure.
Is Jet A-1 available at VCE?
Jet A-1 is normally available, but quantity, supplier acceptance, delivery timing and the fuel release must be confirmed for the movement.
Can ASM coordinate ground handling at VCE?
Yes. ASM can coordinate the appointed provider for the accepted ramp, passenger, crew, equipment, catering and transport requirements.
Can aircraft parking be guaranteed?
No. Parking remains subject to airport and handler confirmation for the aircraft, schedule and proposed ground time.
How early should a VCE request be submitted?
Submit as early as practical. The minimum regulatory notice does not guarantee slots, parking, handling, fuel or special services.
Can ASM coordinate onward transport from VCE?
ASM can coordinate requested passenger or crew transport subject to local supplier confirmation. Transport timing should follow the confirmed arrival, processing and baggage plan.
