We analyze the open charm production in the binary $pi p to bar{D} Lambda_c$ and $pi(rho) J/psi$ reactions within the Regge theory including the absorption corrections. The calculations show that the total cross section is about a few $mu$b for the first processes and a few mb for the second reactions at energy close to the threshold. Then it decreases with increasing energy according to the true Regge asymptotics.
