Ground Services
IAJ′s motto is Total Flight Support because we provide a comprehensive range of services with professionalism and attention to customer service. We′ll arrange permits in advance, provide your crew with operational support, service your aircraft, and ensure that your passengers feel at home.
Just let us know which airport you′ll be serving, your preferred time slot (arrival/departure times), and aircraft details and we′ll work with the airport authorities to confirm your schedule and reserve a parking spot (SLOT and SPOT applications). You may submit flight details using our Inquiry Form. Operating schedules and permit processing time vary from airport to airport, so we encourage you to advise your intentions as early as possible.
For Business Jets or foreign charter aircraft to land at any Japanese airport, an Operating Permit may be required. We submit applications for these permits to the CAA in Japan on behalf of the clients. The application must be submitted at least 3 business days before the flight operation date for business charter flights, and at least 10 days in advance of any passenger charter or cargo charter flight. Details may be submitted with our Inquiry Form.
IAJ′s supervisory service provides comprehensive oversight of your operation. In addition to taking care of basic ground handling, IAJ will manage the activities of all ground service providers on behalf of your airline. Our team of professionals will anticipate and prevent irregularities, and ensure that your ground operations in Japan proceed smoothly.
We′ll file your ATC FPL in a timely manner. We can also provide detailed AIP information such as airport restrictions and recommended routes from each airport (i.e. STAR/SID etc).
We provide the latest weather information and forecasts needed for safe flight operations, including wind conditions en-route and at departure and arrival locations, provided by authorities in Japan and other agencies.
We provide crews with NOTAMs (Notice to Airmen) and other notices of operational importance, including AIPs and AICs, at every airport of operation in Japan.
We provide comprehensive ground handling services at most of Japan′s airports. At RJTT and RJAA we service aircraft exclusively with our own resources, and plan to expand the service other airports in the near future.
