Filming and photography

  • Media representatives may obtain same-day approval for filming and / or photography by writing to [email protected];

  • Filming and photography for non-commercial purposes must be approved by the Communications Unit at least five business days in advance;

  • Filming and photography for commercial purposes (if the material produced is for profit) must be agreed with the Commercial Department at least 10 business days in advance. Filming and photography for commercial purposes at the airport is a paid service, on which a written contract will be concluded. If the filming or photography is performed by a group of more than three people, a written application is required.
