Flying privately offers unmatched freedom—but when your mission crosses borders, that freedom intersects with a complex web of regulations, logistics, and planning. Whether you’re flying for business or leisure, international private jet travel requires precision and expertise. At Paradigm Jet Management, we specialize in making global travel seamless, secure, and efficient.
1. Customs, Immigration & Overflight Permits
Unlike domestic flights, international missions require special approvals:
- Overflight and landing permits may be required depending on your destination and routing
- Customs and Border Protection (CBP) clearances must be scheduled at approved ports of entry
- Passenger manifests and passports must be submitted in advance
Paradigm handles all regulatory filings on your behalf, ensuring timely compliance and smooth transitions at every point of entry.
2. Aircraft Documentation & Operational Compliance
International operations add another layer of required documentation:
- Airworthiness certificates and registration must be current and valid
- Insurance coverage must meet foreign country minimums
- Operational control documents must align with FAA and host country regulations
With our Aircraft Management expertise, owners and operators stay compliant without the paperwork burden.
3. Crew Travel, Rest & Training Requirements
International missions can affect pilot duty time and training compliance:
- Crew visas and passports must be up to date
- Rest periods and duty limits vary by region
- Country-specific training requirements may apply for certain destinations
We ensure all crew members meet the necessary qualifications, so your flight proceeds without delay.
4. Route Planning and Alternate Airports
International airspace often involves:
- Non-standard routing due to airspace restrictions or political boundaries
- Contingency planning for fuel stops and alternate airports
- Navigation fees and regional ATC charges
Our dispatch team uses global route optimization tools to plan efficient, compliant, and cost-effective itineraries.
5. Destination Services and Ground Handling
Flying private means the luxury doesn’t stop at wheels down. Paradigm arranges:
- Customs coordination at Fixed Base Operators (FBOs)
- VIP ground transportation and accommodations
- Fueling, catering, and baggage handling
From London to Dubai to the Caribbean, our global partner network ensures you receive top-tier service at every destination.
6. Tax Implications and Import Considerations
International travel may trigger:
- Value-added tax (VAT) or import duties depending on length of stay
- Cabotage rules that restrict domestic travel within another country
- Temporary import bonds for long-term stays abroad
We coordinate with your legal and financial advisors to ensure you remain compliant and cost-efficient.
7. Insurance and Risk Management
Operating internationally requires insurance policies to:
- Meet international liability minimums
- Cover region-specific risks or conflict zones
- Include medical evacuation and repatriation if applicable
Our team ensures you are fully covered and risk-mitigated before departure.

Popular international private aviation routes include:
