Operations

Pinnacle Operations' knowledgeable flight coordinators are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to assist with all of your trip support needs. Our staff begins by performing a three-step trip analysis, from start to finish, for each individual trip.

STEP 1

We make sure that all exit and entry requirements for the United States are in accordance with the CBP (Customs & Border Protection).

STEP 2

We ensure that all overflight and landing permits along your flight route have been accounted for and obtained.

STEP 3

We work with a select network of handling companies throughout the world to make certain that your aircraft parking, runway slots, PPRs (Prior Permission Required), Customs, Immigration and transportation requirements are in place, prior to your arrival.

Latest News:

Japan

Japan will drop all remaining COVID entry rules from Apr 29 - a week earlier than expected. Passengers arriving will no longer need to submit proof of vaccination or negative test results.

Lisbon / LPPT

Until the end of the summer season (Oct 29), most aircraft will be limited to max 6 0mins turnaround time (Code A and B aircraft only get 45mins). There’s no NOTAM on this - it’s hidden away in AIP SUP 61/22. Local handlers expect limited summer slots too. For drop-and-go’s and parking elsewhere, LPCS/Cascais or LPFR/Faro is suggested.

Sudan

Sudan is closed to all flights except humanitarian and evac flights with prior permission (HSSS A0070/23). In South Sudan, air navigation services remain suspended above FL245 (HSSS A0069/23). Fighting has continued in Khartoum despite a ceasefire. Several countries have issued airspace warnings for the HSSS/Khartoum FIR, due to risks from anti-aircraft weaponry and military activity.

Our three-step trip analysis is key to ensuring that you and your passengers have a safe and pleasant trip using Pinnacle Operations.
