This business aviation blog post continues from our article last week, titled “Document Intensive Charter Destinations for Business Aviation: Part 2 \u2013 European Region<\/a>.”<\/em><\/p>\n

When it comes to charter aircraft operations, there are permit approval anomalies to be aware of here and there around the world \u2013 including mandated security plans and provision of unique documentation. It’s recommended to always review such considerations with your 3rd-party provider well in advance of travel.<\/p>\n

The following is an overview of what you need to know:<\/p>\n

1. Australian charter permits<\/h2>\n

Australia imposes pilot age limits for charter operations and has specific documentation\/security program mandates. In addition to requiring certificates of registration and airworthiness, noise certificate, crew documentation\/medicals and the air operator certificate (AOC), Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) also want an insurance coverage with specific liability limits, copies of certain sections of your operations specifications, and a certificate of company incorporation \u2013 including company bylaws. Be aware that approval of an aviation security plan can take up to eight months. Once you’ve made application for an Australian security plan you’ll generally be permitted to operate charters to Australia a certain number of times while the application is in process.<\/p>\n

2. Mexican charter permits<\/h2>\n

The Mexican charter operating environment is easier these days than it had been in the past. However, you now require a blanket charter permit \u2013 good for 10 years \u2013, and it’s renewed annually (a renewal fee is applicable). In addition to standard aircraft\/crew documentation and worldwide insurance, charter operators must also carry Mexican insurance. This insurance policy must specifically state that Mexican territory is covered and that it applies to “commercial use” of the aircraft. Pilot licenses and medicals, as well as a letter stating the flight is commercial, must be sent in advance. Be aware that even though you have a blanket permit crew will be escorted to the commandante’s office, upon each landing, to physically present all paperwork.
