Why choose a private jet broker for diplomatic missions?

The unique demands of diplomatic flights

Diplomatic flights differ from regular scheduled services in that they carry heads of state or high-ranking government officials with a diplomatic clearance. As such, these flights need to adhere to specific international protocols and security procedures to ensure they’re conducted safely and efficiently.

Diplomatic clearance

A flight carrying diplomats, government representatives or other high-ranking officials, requires a diplomatic flight plan. It can be quite a lengthy process to obtain one as a diplomatic clearance needs to be granted by the embassies of all the countries you’re overflying.

Customs & immigration

A diplomatic delegation needs to pass through customs and immigration like all other passengers but they enjoy certain privileges. With the help of the embassies, we’ll coordinate special customs procedures like pre-clearance and priority to expedite the process and avoid any delays.

Air Traffic Control

A diplomatic flight has priority with air traffic control. It won’t be subject to a slot, in order to improve departure time, and controllers will give the pilots shortcuts en-route whenever possible.

Discretion

A private jet broker is ideally poised to handle the entire flight operation with the discretion it deserves. Last-minute changes are a common occurrence with diplomatic flights. At Jetters, we’re able to pivot quickly and manage these changes while keeping the entire process confidential.

Security measures & sensitive cargo

Specific security measures may be warranted on both the ground and in the air. That involves enlisting the right security staff and processing additional paperwork for any guards – armed or no – accompanying the delegation. Any weapons should be unloaded and stocked separately. Up to 5kg of ammunition is allowed per box. 

Exceptional service

It speaks for itself that flying dignitaries are to be treated with the utmost respect and so service levels are expected to be top-notch. At Jetters, we go above and beyond to take care of every single detail.

When flying royals, for example, we'll decorate the jet in the national colors or the cabin crew will serve delicacies the country's renowned for. We’ll be sure to hand pick the best crew for our flying delegation.
