Recommendations When Operating To India

• Do your homework and update yourself on latest status

• If you can, work 3 weeks to a month ahead of time. If it’s short

notice typically can be done - go for it, but may be limitations

• If you operate frequently – maintain valid visas

• One of India’s biggest issues is infrastructure – recognize you

may have parking limitations at times

• Utilize a knowledgeable Trip & Ground Service Provider

• Set expectations with passengers

Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport / ZSSS

50 China

Parking is getting worse and traffic is increasing

• The nearest parking position will take 30

minutes

• It is quite often to take an hour for parking at

the remote position, such as Apron N2 and

Apron M.

• It will save time if the passengers disembark at

a position near the parking stand

• But the passenger has to take a while to get to

the FBO

Parking

51 China

• Airports are owned and run

by state, the airport

department concerned can

raise their price any time.

But the high cost does not

reflect service level.

• Most airport authority is

more care about profit than

service.

• They set up so called VIP

Service Department to

handle business flight.

• Actually this department is

too weak to get timely and

efficient support from other

department.

• Since the situation at the airports is getting more complex and the

agent has to do more coordination

• The handling agent plays a key role in

ground handling

• More handling agents are appearing

• Check if your handling agent is professional and experienced

• Agents with a longer history are stronger and more reliable

Handling Agent

Customs and Immigration

Incorrect crew / passenger information may cause a delay and penalty at

airports such as:

– Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport / ZUUU

– Kunming Wujiaba International Airport / ZPPP


China 53

Incorrect Information

If the list of names sent to security department is incorrect, a correct one

is required before they let the aircraft go

At some airports, the CIQ is very strict, any mistake on the name info will

likely receive a penalty at airports such as:

– Tianjin Binhai International Airport/ ZBTJ

– Jinan Yaoqiang International Airport/ ZSJN

– Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport/ ZGSZ


• If the passenger have two or more

passports, they must use the one with

Chinese visa

China 54

Passports

• If the passport ( with Chinese visa) is expired, please let your agent

know in advance and provide the new passport info

• Do not forget to bring with you the expired passport with valid

Chinese visa


• On international arrival into China, the crew must provide a General

Declaration form (GENDEC) stamped by Customs of last stop airport.

• Without the stamped GENDEC, it may delay passenger/crew check in,

even worse you could be fined

• On international arrival, do not open the cabin door. Until it has been

indicated to you to do so

• If door is opened before customs gets there, you will likely have a

problem

China 55

General Declaration (GENDEC) and International arrival


• In principle, crew must have C-type visa

• If crew member who holds a C-visa wants to take commercial to leave

or arrival China.

• His handling agent should issue an official letter to airport immigration

to explain the reason

• Otherwise, they will likely not be allowed to leave by commercial.

Maybe you won’t get into trouble even you fail to observe the above rules.

But when the lucky star is not with you, then it will be a big problem.

China 56

Visas - Crew


• Passenger can stay in China 72 hours without visa.

• Currently this policy applies to:

– Beijing Capital International Airport / ZBAA

– Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport / ZSSS

– Shanghai Pudong International Airport / ZSPD


– Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport / ZUUU

– Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport / ZUCK

• If you have a passenger coming to China without visa, you need to

double check with your agent to confirm there is no problem.

• In principle, this rule is not applicable to crew

China 57

Visas - Passengers

Fuel

• The fuel agent is responsible to check and

make sure fuel is all set

• It may cause misunderstanding or even

delay fuel service if you have your

handling agent to follow up the fuel

instead of your fuel agent.

• Credit card or a fuel card is not acceptable

Cultural checklist (part 1)

Communicating

Bowing or nodding is the common greeting; however, you may be offered a handshake. Wait for your host to offer their hand first. Applause is common when greeting a crowd; the same is expected in return. Introductions are formal. Use formal titles. Often times our host will use a nickname to assist Westerners. Being on time is vital in China. Appointments are a must for business. Bring several copies of all written documents for your meetings. The decision making process may be slow. You should not expect to conclude your business swiftly. Present and receive cards with both hands. Never write on a business card or put it in your wallet or pocket. Carry a small card case. The most important member of your company or group should lead important meetings. Your hosts value rank and status. Allow your host(s) to leave a meeting first.

• China is the oldest continuous civilization

• The checklist is advisory only, for communicating, appearance,

behaviors and manners

Please develop a working knowledge of Chinese culture

China

http://www.cyborlink.com/besite/china.htm



60

Cultural checklist Appearance

Conservative suits for men with subtle colors are the norm. Women should avoid high heels and short sleeved blouses, Revealing clothing for women may be considered offensive to Chinese businessmen. Subtle, neutral colors should be worn by both men and women. Casual dress should be conservative as well. Men and women can wear jeans. However, jeans are not acceptable for business meetings.

Behavior and Manners

Do not use large hand movements, it may may be distracting to your host as they do not do it. Personal contact must be avoided. It is highly inappropriate for a man to touch a woman in public. Do not point when speaking, to point do not use your index finger, use an open palm. It is considered improper to put your fingers in your mouth Avoid acts that involve the mouth Gift giving is a very delicate issue in China - See international business gift giving. If giving a gift to a government official, be cognizant of OFAC laws It is more acceptable to give gifts either in private or to a group as a whole to avoid embarrassment. The most acceptable gift is a banquet and quality writing pens as considered favored gifts. Do not give clocks, straw sandals, handkerchiefs or anything White, Blue or Black as they are all associated with death! Always arrive on time or early if you are the guest. Do not discuss business at meals or start to eat or drink prior to the host. As a cultural courtesy, you should taste all the dishes you are offered. Sample meals only, there may be several courses. Never place your chopsticks straight up in your bowl. By placing your sticks upright in your bowl your will remind your host of joss sticks which

connotes death. Try not to drop the chopsticks it is considered bad luck. Do not eat all of your meal. If you eat all of your meal, it will be considered you did not receive enough food and are still hungry. Women do not usually drink at meals. Tipping is considered insulting, however the practice is becoming more common.
