Booking Conditions
Passengers are requested to abide by the requirement to check in for flights at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled departure as this allows your pilot to finalise appropriate fuel load. Failure to observe this may result in a delay to departure time based on time required to load fuel onto the aircraft.
Although we will make every effort to take you to your destination we cannot always guarantee that we will be able to achieve this due to weather or other operational restrictions. Where this may be an issue the pilot will advise the passengers of the current conditions influencing the flight using all available information at that time. Safety is always our top priority and will be prioritised over any schedule or restriction.
If a flight can not reach destination due to weather and returns to its departure port or any other port payment for the flight will still be required in full and no refunds will be issued. Air Frontier staff will endeavour to provide the passengers updates on weather or operational restrictions that may affect the flight however this is not always an option as often weather restricting the flight may arise. Payment in full will be required regardless of if or whether the pilot is able to advise the client of any restrictions that may affect the flight.
All flights are subject to a risk assessment-based procedure this assessment is an important part of the decision-making process as to whether flights will depart or not. The Pilot in command of the aircraft has absolute discretion as to whether all or part of any flight shall proceed or not.
Waiting/overnight trips
Where a pilot is required to spend time on the ground waiting for a return journey, a comfortable rest area must be provided. Where the Pilot is required to overnight away from their base, the pilot must be provided with a private room and meals. Where applicable this may in arranged and included in the quotation price.
