Please respect the maximum aircraft type limit for each stand when flying online with VATSIM or IVAO.
Following aircraft types are NOT allowed to park on the contact stands on Main Terminal Building (MTB) or Satellite :
All the contact stands on the Main Terminal Building and Satellite are equiped with AGNIS/PAPA parking aid system.
IMPORTANT
NOTE : The AGNIS/PAPA system works correctly ONLY WHEN VIEWED FROM WITHIN THE
COCKPIT!
If you view from the outside (i.e. Spot view) the system will not provide

Athens International Airport is equipped with an aircraft visual aid docking system in the Main Terminal Building (MTB) and in the Satellite (SAT) aircraft parking stands. Taxiing aircraft in these parking stands will be guided through the docking system without the assistance of a marshaller.
Guides the Pilot to center the aircraft along the parking line into the aircraft
stand.
Consists of a box with two slits, red and green lighting. The slits show green
when the approach along the yellow lead-in line is correct, red when the
approach is incorrect.
The aircraft shall approach the aircraft parking stand along the yellow Lead-in Line, so that both slits in the guidance element / AGNIS show green. A photo description as seen from the pilot point of view on an aircraft is shown below.
The aircraft is correctly aligned with the parking stand
Aircraft RIGHT of centerline, must turn LEFT (TOWARDS GREEN)
Aircraft LEFT of the centerline, must turn RIGHT (TOWARDS GREEN)
Guides the Pilot to stop and park the aircraft on the appropriate designed mark
in the stand according to the used aircraft type.
Consists of a black painted board with white vertical reference marks and
a tubular light in front of it.
As soon as the tubular light is lined-up with the appropriate vertical reference
mark, the aircraft has reached the correct stopping position. A
diagram description as seen from the pilot point of view on an aircraft is shown
below.
