Flying in Western Europe is easy, but flying in Eastern Europe, Middle East or Asia, and especially country like China, where the entire national airspace is restricted and you need a clearance from the military for every take-off... you can’t imagine how much there will be paperwork involved.
Asia and the Middle East are two examples of where things can be complicated and advance knowledge and planning are essential. Due to the potential problems which can arise because of inadequate research and planning, we decided to use the services of “International Flight Planning Providers”. These are companies specializing for that kind of service. That is the reason that the planning process should begin as soon as possible before the flight. Permits can take two or three weeks to get in some countries so planning is essential for this kind of project and Advance Visas are a must!
