International Trip Planning & Overflight Support in the Caribbean
Caribbean airspace has many local rules.
Each island state or territory may use its own civil aviation authority process.
Each airport may also have its own document, hour and service rules.
Your route may include the Bahamas, Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago, the Cayman Islands, Antigua and Barbuda or other islands.
Prepare aircraft documents, schedule, route and purpose of flight early.
Keep crew, passenger, cargo and airport service details ready.
This helps the permit process move faster.
