New ETA Regulations in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Israel: Impact on Business Aviation and Charter Flights
The business aviation and charter flight sector is facing a new regulatory landscape with the implementation of Electronic Travel Authorisations (ETAs) in the United Kingdom, Europe, and Israel. These systems, designed to enhance security and streamline immigration processes, have a direct impact on the planning of private and commercial flights. As a leader in aviation management, Aerowise positions itself as a strategic partner, assisting operators and passengers in complying with these regulations.
ETA in the United Kingdom
Since 2024, the UK has introduced an ETA system for citizens of countries that previously did not require a visa for short stays. This measure affects passengers travelling on business aviation and charter flights, who must obtain authorisation before arrival, impacting coordination times and operational procedures. Aerowise provides specialised guidance to facilitate this process, ensuring that every operation meets the current requirements.
ETIAS System in Europe
The European Union will implement a similar system in 2025 through the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS) for travellers from visa-exempt countries. Business aviation operations must adapt their procedures to ensure compliance before departure, minimising delays and streamlining passenger management. Aerowise collaborates closely with airlines and private operators to optimise these processes and guarantee an efficient service.
Israel and its Digital ETA
Israel has also adopted an electronic authorisation system, impacting private flight operations that require pre-arrival formalities. Aviation companies must anticipate these requirements to optimise the passenger experience and avoid regulatory issues. Aerowise provides tailored solutions to streamline these processes and offer comprehensive support to its clients.
Impact on Business Aviation and Charter Flights
As a key player in operational management and aviation consultancy, Aerowise recognises the importance of understanding how these regulations affect international flight logistics and planning. Coordinating with immigration authorities and implementing efficient procedures will be essential to ensuring seamless and trouble-free operations.
The introduction of ETAs underscores the need for foresight and planning in business aviation.

With its expertise and deep industry knowledge, Aerowise is prepared to support operators and passengers, ensuring a smooth transition into this evolving regulatory environment.
