Urgent Fee Statement:

If fewer than two working days’ notice is provided before the operative’s first day of airside access, a £35 urgency fee will be applied. This fee reflects Red Sky’s commitment to expedite the referencing and documentation process on our side.

This charge does not guarantee that the airside pass will be issued by the requested start date, as Red Sky has no control over the processing times of the airport’s ID Centre (IDC). The IDC reserves the right to delay or refuse the issuance of a pass at its discretion.

Please note: IDC costs vary between UK airports. You must confirm the exact fees directly with the relevant ID Centre.

“Two working days” refers to the period before the operative’s first day of airside access. This 48-hour window excludes weekends and recognised UK bank holidays.

By ticking this box, you confirm that you have read and understood the above statement.
