Start with a complete flight brief
A clear request gives the operations team enough context to check the right services. Include the aircraft type and registration, operator details, flight number or call sign, schedule in UTC, routing, origin and destination, and the purpose of the movement. For charter or special missions, note any relevant passenger, cargo or handling requirements.
List the services you need
Specify whether you require landing or overflight permit coordination, ground handling, fuel, slots or parking, crew transport, accommodation, passenger assistance, or other local support. If a service is not needed, say so. This helps keep the review focused and avoids assumptions.
Allow time for review and changes
Requirements and availability can depend on the airport, current authority procedures, aircraft and mission details, and operating conditions. Share the latest schedule and documents available, then communicate revisions promptly. A change to timing, routing, registration or passenger details may affect coordination.
Request written confirmation
Before operating, confirm the status and scope of each requested service with your provider. Keep written confirmations and any applicable permits with the flight records. Always check current notices and instructions from the relevant authorities and airport.
Babylon monitors legal, regulatory and geopolitical developments that may affect aviation operations in Iraq, assesses their operational impact and informs customers of relevant updates. Final approvals and service availability are confirmed with the competent authorities, airport and service providers for each movement.
