The tax applies to passengers departing from Danish airports, with rates varying by flight distance. Business aviation operators must register with the Danish Tax Agency and pay monthly. Exemptions exist for certain flight types. The tax aligns with similar European initiatives and will increase annually until 2030. Proper compliance is crucial to avoid penalties or operational restrictions in Denmark. 00:49:40 Louis Smyth: Hong Kong to Implement New APIS Requirements for Business Aviation by April 2025 Hong Kong will introduce new Advance Passenger Information System (APIS) requirements for business aviation operators by April 2025, following a phased implementation that starts with commercial flights in September 2024. These rules mandate the electronic submission of passenger and crew data to border control before arriving in Hong Kong. The requirements aim to enhance aviation security and will only affect flights arriving in Hong Kong. Flights departing Hong Kong will be excluded from the API requirements. 00:50:02 Louis Smyth: Belgium Now Requires Gendec for Non-Schengen GA Flights Belgiumโ€™s Federal Police has introduced a new requirement for general aviation (GA) flights traveling between Belgium and non-Schengen countries.

I share your pain! 01:03:48 Aleksander Telepov: Reacted to "Were on month nine..." with ๐Ÿ˜ฎ 01:05:19 Louis Smyth: Key Mexico Cabotage Changes: Operators can now transport passengers out of Mexico, even if they didnโ€™t initially bring them into the country. This allows passengers arriving commercially or via different charter companies to leave with any operator. Multiple stops within Mexico may be allowed with proper justification and approval. Passengers who arrive in a commercial airline can now be picked up by air charter company. This marks a significant departure from traditional cabotage restrictions, which previously: Limited operators to a single stop within the country Required passengers leaving Mexico to depart with the same operator that brought them in For charter operators wanting to make multiple stops, if thereโ€™s a specific purpose, consult with a regulatory team to request authorization. Itโ€™s likely to be approved with proper justification. 01:06:26 @theBIZAVguy Adam Hartley: Great result for Business Aviation 01:06:35 @theBIZAVguy Adam Hartley: Great work advocating for BIZAV HINNA!! 01:06:46 jason hayward: Reacted to "Great work advocatin..." with ๐Ÿ‘ 01:06:46 Tyler McCool: Replying to "Key Mexico Cabotage ..."
