Any maintenance requirements must be confirmed, and alternative arrangements identified before the aircraft departs.
Parking facilities are available with pre-approval from the APD office. Aircraft should carry a towbar on board at all times when operating to Aurangabad Airport, as this is a firm requirement for India operations. Operators relying on last-minute aviation trip support at this location should confirm the parking pre-approval process with their international trip support company before departure.

There is no GA terminal at Aurangabad Airport. The agent on the ground should provide baggage assistance and escort guests through CIQ clearance. Operators planning same day trip support services or urgent trip support services at this destination should confirm that a competent local agent is in place before the aircraft arrives. The absence of a GA terminal means that the quality and attentiveness of the local agent is critical to the passenger experience.
Climate
The climate of Aurangabad is temperate with low humidity and diverse weather conditions. Aurangabad has three seasons: Summer, Winter, and Monsoon. Operators planning missions during the monsoon season should factor seasonal weather conditions into all ground logistics planning, as monsoon rainfall can affect surface transport times and passenger handling at the airport.
