Operational considerations

Permissions and movement information
For a business aviation request at STV, provide the aircraft registration and type, operator details, routing, purpose of flight, schedule, crew, passengers and required services. Confirm whether the movement needs PPR, a slot, parking approval or another airport acceptance. Revised timings should be shared early because they can affect handler, fuel and CIQ arrangements.
Parking and regional-airport capability
Surat is an important commercial gateway in Gujarat, but equipment and parking should be confirmed for the specific aircraft rather than assumed from scheduled-airline operations. State the aircraft dimensions, ground time, towing or ground-power requirements and whether the movement will remain overnight.
Passenger and crew transfers
Passenger and crew transport should be planned around the confirmed terminal or reporting point, baggage volume, hotel location and Surat traffic conditions. International flights should verify customs, immigration and quarantine availability for the requested schedule. Crew hotel, transport and catering arrangements remain subject to local confirmation.
Ground handling and aviation fuel
ATTS can coordinate permits, ground handling, aviation fuel, supervision, transport and crew or passenger support at Surat, subject to airport, authority and supplier confirmation.
