Airline and airport operators are encouraged to develop and publish Disability Access Facilitation Plans (DAFPs) with the aim of providing detailed information on their approach to meeting the needs of travellers with disability.

The DAFPs are intended to be used as a communication tool between airline and airport operators and the travelling public on the availability and accessibility of services for passengers with disability—ideally covering the total travel experience from making a reservation through to arriving at the intended destination.

This application form is for international aircraft owners/operators seeking permission to operate ICAO Chapter 3 foreign registered aircraft in/into Australia under 14(3)(c) or 19(1) of the Air Navigation (Aircraft Noise) Regulations. Under these provisions aircraft may be granted a conditional permission to operate a one-off flight if the operator can adequately demonstrate that the sole purpose of the flight is in the public interest.

The department requires an application be submitted at least 10 business days prior to a planned event or flight.
