Crew rest

For crew to be allowed entry, they will need to be listed as crew on the manifest and present their passport and crew card on arrival.

Note: Special cases can always be reviewed. Do not hesitate to send your query to UAS Team.

Fuel stops

Fuel stops are possible from any destination as long as the flight is ferry or the passengers do not disembark from the aircraft when not complying with the local restrictions and when coming from restricted countries.
