However, in the event of a shortage of available controllers, we kindly ask for your understanding and flexibility. In such cases, please adhere to the following guidelines:
-
Familiarize yourself with the specific procedures for Riga International Airport (EVRA) and LEMD (Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport). Ensure you are well-versed in the taxiways, runways, and any unique airport operations.
