PPR is essential, requiring advance submission of airworthiness, insurance, and personal details via handling agents Executive Air Services, who operate from a dedicated GA terminal with comfortable facilities and good road or taxi access. Example: handling about $150 for all services for pilot and two passengers on a one-day visit. Another example: minimum handling fee about $50. Taxiing is straightforward but requires care when crossing and identifying runways. The airport has three runways, each over 10,500 ft, with axes within 50 degrees. Avgas is very expensive at about €5 per liter. Bureaucratic departure procedures can be lengthy. Executive Air Services contact: Phone +961 162 8260, Fax +961 162 8261.
