PPR Requirements for EGLF
When operating to Farnborough (EGLF), prior permission required (PPR) is needed both to use the airport and for aircraft parking. EGLF is a private airport, and this PPR gives you security clearance for landing – with a code unique to your aircraft and the schedule you’ve provided. Each trip to EGLF requires a different PPR and you’ll need this number to gain access to the aircraft. Without this PPR number crew, passengers, in-flight caterers, and other service providers will not be allowed airside access. EGLF’s PPR requirements and procedures are unique in the UK.
The PPR number will be provided along with the handling confirmation from the Operations Team. The PPR number bears no relevance to flight planning and aircraft movements. The PPR number is only used for airport access by the crew, passengers, and third-party contractors. The PPR number is relevant for arrival and matches the departure.
CIQ
Customs, immigration, and quarantine (CIQ) at EGLF are cleared within the fixed-base operator (FBO), and it’s a fast and efficient process. It’s recommended that CIQ pre-notification is completed a minimum of 24 hours for arrivals from outside the European Union (EU) and four hours for arrivals from within the EU. Pre-notification helps ensure there will be no issues or delays upon arrival and allows airport authorities to confirm that the operation is approved.
Due to legislation changes as of April 2024, Farnborough Airport no longer undertakes any submission of GAR’s to UK Border Force. Operators should follow GAR submission requirements as detailed here.
