Handling Requests
All general, business, and military aviation must submit handling requests at least 48 hours prior to operation via the Atlantic Aviation Handling Confirmation link.
For subsequent changes to handling requests, use the Atlantic Aviation Handling Change link.
Requests submitted with less than 48 hours’ notice will incur a surcharge.
Special Permissions
All military flights and flights operating between 2200L and 0700L require prior permission (PPR) from the Skyport Airport Authority via the PPR link.
Charter Operations (Part 135 or equivalent) must apply for an Operator’s Permit through the Bermuda Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA Website) or via email at foreignoperatorpermit@bcaa.bm
Part 91 operators should review OPSN-02-19 which addresses the SMS requirements.

Customs and Immigration
All handling and customs processing occurs at the FBO. The Bermuda Tourism Authority (BTA) requires all visitors remaining on island to complete the Bermuda Arrival Card. Please use the button below to complete the form.
A separate form is required for each person. Crew and Transit Pax do not have to complete the Arrival Card.
Visitor Requirements
As a reminder, Bermuda Customs are requesting that they be notified of all crew and passengers arriving on corporate jets. This Advanced Passenger Information System (APIS) may already be included in your handling requests to us and is much the same as is required for aircraft arriving into other jurisdictions.
This also includes any updates to aircraft, crew, and passenger changes.
Required information for each person on the flight can be sent via Word or in an XL spreadsheet and should include:
- Full Name
- Nationality
- Date of Birth
- Passport Number and Expiration Date
