As far as regulations are concerned, LunaJets' business aviation experts will handle the majority of the details during your private flight to/from Iceland, allowing you to enjoy a seamless, convenient, and uninterrupted travel experience. We'll ensure your trip runs smoothly without you having to worry about the specifics. Here's the main information on the regulations governing business aviation in Iceland. Don't hesitate to ask our agents if you need further clarification on any point.
Entry and Exit Requirements
- Visas: Citizens of EU/EEA countries do not need a visa to travel to Iceland for short stays of up to 90 days. For non-EU/EEA nationals, Iceland is part of the Schengen Area, so a Schengen visa is required for many travellers. You can check if you need a visa and apply for one at the official Directorate of Immigration website. For those eligible, Iceland offers the convenience of applying for a Schengen visa, which allows travel across 26 European countries within the Schengen zone. Make sure to apply well in advance, as the processing time can be up to 15 days.
- Customs: Conventional procedures comparable to regular flights, but with greater convenience in private aviation.
- Immigration: Accelerated and more personalised controls.
- Travel Insurance: Not required but highly suggested; LunaJets can assist you in picking the appropriate coverage.
Flights Planning
- Compliance and Permits: LunaJets will manage all compliance details with Icelandic air traffic control regulations, including obtaining necessary flight permits, landing clearances, and slot allocations, ensuring your flight adheres to all required standards and operates smoothly.
Environmental Regulations
- Noise Restrictions: Iceland has established rules to limit aircraft noise, striving to minimise disruptions for neighbourhoods close to airports.
Travel with Pets
- Conditions: To bring dogs and/or cats to Iceland, pet owners must comply with the regulations set by the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST). This includes obtaining an import permit and ensuring your pet has a valid health certificate and rabies vaccination. Additionally, pets must undergo a quarantine period upon arrival. For simplicity, ask our agents for up-to-date details and assistance to ensure all requirements are met efficiently. Learn more about bringing a pet to Iceland.
