In accordance with the licenses granted by a licensing agency, the Schedule and Tariffs Centre (STC) makes updates to the Central Bank of Schedule and Slots (CBSS). The Bank includes the slots of the flights operated via airports of the Russian Federation and the parameters of the flights, which ensure the fulfilment of airlines' obligations under contracts of air carriage of passengers or contracts of air carriage of cargo (mail).
