How it works

How to arrange your flight

Aircraft Security is arranged with the country's civil aviation authority. The three steps are the same whichever service the movement needs.

01
Select your destination
Search by airport, ICAO or IATA code, city or country, and choose the destination and the service the movement needs.
02
Prepare your flight details and documents
Give us the schedule and the aircraft, crew and passenger documents that apply to the service and the state involved. What is required differs by country and by movement, and we confirm it with you.
03
Contact our 24/7 operations desk
Our operations team coordinates the requested support and manages updates, revisions, delays, diversions and urgent operational changes.

Aircraft Security worldwide

Find aircraft security by region, country and aerodrome

Our desk arranges aircraft security through the global directory of 48,010 aerodromes in 239 countries and territories. Being listed means we can identify the aerodrome and arrange support there; it does not mean we have published operational detail for it.

The directory also names Paracel Islands (disputed), which has no aerodrome to list and so sits in no region above.
