OPERATIONAL AIRPORT INTELLIGENCE

Africa Airport Guides for Flight Operators

Plan African airport movements with practical guidance on permits, ground handling, Jet A-1 fuel, parking, customs and immigration, crew logistics and local operating considerations. AAES supports commercial airlines, private jets, cargo and charter operations through one 24/7 Nairobi-based desk.

Start with the operational question—not only the airport code

An airport guide is useful when it helps a dispatcher or planner decide what must be confirmed before departure. AAES guides separate stable airport identifiers from time-sensitive matters such as slots, PPR, operating hours, parking, fuel, CIQ and permit lead times. Always reconfirm current requirements through the relevant authority, NOTAMs and appointed handler.
