For international flights, coordination with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is required, and all necessary documentation must be prepared and submitted in advance.

Slot allocation at MDW is based on availability and operational requirements. Operators must request slots through the designated slot coordinator, with slots available for request up to six months in advance. Peak operational times are typically between 0700-1000 and 1600-1900 hours local time. Operators must adhere to allocated slot times, as failure to utilize slots as scheduled may result in penalties or loss of future slot allocations.
