Our Trip Planning and Support services include:

Ground Handling

Airport handling arrangements 

Combining our extensive wealth of operations experience with our own advanced software system, myairops flight, we have the knowledge to determine which handling agent/FBO to use to provide the best handling services down route at your destination airports. With agreements in place at various airports, we can sometimes receive discounts on handling fees which can be passed on to myairops clients. Not all handling agents provide the service level we would expect for our clients, from efficient communication to quality of services at each location, we look at all aspects of handling services to determine our preferred suppliers. 

Slots/PPR 

Slots in Europe can be limited in peak seasons, requested slots versus what is allocated can create frustration amongst operators with tight schedules. What if you had the knowledge to hand of slot tolerances for each airport, so you knew what time you could take off either side of that slot to not bust a slot time and face a warning or worse, a fine from an airport? With a large, experienced operations department team and a state-of-the-art operating system, myairops Trip Support is the knowledge fountain perfect for an operator requiring that additional bit of information to create the perfect trip experience that puts less strain and stress on both passengers and operators. 

Customs/Immigration

Not all Customs and Immigration services are available for the same times an airport is open. Through information stored in the myairops system, along with a proactive attitude from our team, we verify we can operate a schedule based on if customs and immigration is available for a flight as well as checking an airport is open. Time frames for supplying passenger and crew information to customs and immigration also varies around the world. We ensure our clients are aware of these time frames, so our clients are not penalised for late information supplied. 

Flight Planning

We use your requirements to ensure all aspects of the plan meet your operational needs. We will arrange and plan for all alternatives, ensure airports are open and viable and make sure plans are filed and uploaded to your flight planning tool of choice. We will ensure flight levels are appropriately planned on the basis of fuel requirements and comfort.

Bring Your Own 

With a vastly experienced and adaptable Operations Department, myairops Trip Support can use a wide range of Flight Planning software. If you have commitments with a Flight Planning software, then myairops can use your account to take care of all aspects of flight planning and ATC filling of your flight plans.

Permits

Charter Permits

With 40 years of commercial operator background, let myairops navigate the increasingly complex global requirements for commercial charter permissions, so you don’t have to. 

 Overflight Permits          

Last minute trips often fall beneath the lead time for an Overflight permission to be granted. Forward thinking from the myairops Trip Support team will look at alternative routes and obtain additional overflight permits should a permit not be approved before the flight is planned to take place, in order to prevent any risk of a schedule needing to be amended. 

Landing Permits 

Knowing which countries require a Landing Permit depending on registration of an aircraft, type of operation, how many seats are on board an aircraft and how long it takes to obtain a Landing Permit are all valuable bits of information to know when planning a new trip schedule. myairops trip support has all the information to hand to be able to and know when to obtain a permit correctly and efficiently.      

Permit to Fly 

Have a technical fault with an aircraft but have approval for a one-off flight to fly to a maintenance facility? All the paperwork and workload for that approval alone can be very stressful for an Aircraft Operator. Having a Trip Support expert on hand to be able to relieve some of the pressure can be invaluable. When Operating on a permit to fly, each country over flown requires notification of the flight and they must provide their approval for the flight to operate. With a rare extensive list of contacts within the myairops department, this process can be accelerated.

Complete flexibility that suits you

Our trip support can be purchased in two ways:

 Pay-as-you-go

For those organizations that have an in-house capability, where an existing trip support arrangement is in place or where customers want the flexibility to have no standing commitment.

This option allows our “go now” feature, simply call or email your request and we will do the rest. Organizing all aspects of the trip, filing all flight plans and providing all briefing materials.

Scenarios include organizations who wish to access our specialist skilled services arranging your trip within Europe, Middle East and Africa. Whilst we offer full global coverage, many organizations access us for our specialist knowledge and expert skills within this region.

 

 Annual commitment

The annual commitment model is suited for organizations who want to outsource trip support to us over a longer term. This offers preferential pricing over the pay-as-you-go model.

A monthly fee covers all trips you may have on a per aircraft basis; no matter how many trips that may be.

 

We provide simple transparent pricing so there are no hidden fees or surprises. As with all our service delivery models we have an agreed price list for permits that we publish to you in advance so you always know what you can expect to pay. Any services we arrange or purchase on your behalf are passed through with no additional mark-up added. If you have an existing flight planning tool that you want us to use then we can use this preference or provide you services using our existing tools and capabilities.
