What's the procedure for someone wanting to fly themself and a couple of passengers over to (e.g.) Norfolk Island in (e.g. again) a B200 KingAir ?

There isn't a team of engineers or ground staff to get the plane nice and tidily on the end of a jetway for them, presumably the pilot has to sort the plane out then park it somewhere (where?), get to the terminal (how, if the plane is in a controlled area?) and go through customs and immigration, get back to the plane (again, how?), and depart. And at the same time, how do the passengers navigate the system and end up at the plane with their luggage ?

Thanks

It might go to the corporate terminal that has all international screening and luxury lounges.
That is located to the end of Runway 23. It might cost alot though.
A few planes even fly from far north where they have customs etc on call

Easiest way is to contract somebody like Air Centre 1 to do the ground handling for you.

When I ferried a PA31-1040 via Norfolk 2 years ago we had to refuel at Kerikeri and so cleared customs there, it was just a matter of making a phone call to customs in advance and it was all arranged. A King Air will of course not require the tech stop.

For handling in Norfolk it was all done by our flight operations. Mr wasfltops, were you on during that?

Hey

If flying say from Auckland to Norfolk Island you need to have an instrument rating and also a briefing from someone who has recently flown the route.

This was found in an old aviation magazine, not sure if its the same now though.
