Bali Private Jet coordinates DPS/WADD ground support for foreign and domestic charter operators: slot and PPR filings, landing permits through the DGCA process, FSC filing via the official SMS-FSC system, CIQ fast-track, crew logistics, and ramp supervision — per movement or on seasonal terms. We handle the ground. You keep the client relationship.
Bali punishes operators who treat DPS as a self-handling station. Ground handling is mandatory for foreign-registered jets at every Indonesian airport — a rule reconfirmed in 2025 — and I Gusti Ngurah Rai International (IATA DPS, ICAO WADD, in Tuban, Badung Regency; operated by state-owned Angkasa Pura I) is slot-coordinated: PPR and slot confirmation come before your flight plan means anything. The GA apron holds roughly 14 aircraft, ExecuJet has run the GA terminal since November 2022, and in July-August and December-January it fills fast.
This desk does not sell charter. Aircraft revenue stays yours; we are the standing Bali ground partner for operators and brokers — nothing upstream of the ramp.
What does operator support at DPS actually cover?
The scope covers what a foreign ops room cannot file or supervise from abroad:
- Slot and PPR coordination — filing, confirmation chasing, and revision handling when your schedule slips.
- Landing and overflight permits — prepared and lodged through the DGCA process, currently 3-5 business days with extensive documentation as of August 2026.
- FSC filing — submitted through the official SMS-FSC digital system, sequenced so flight approval and airport slot land together.
- Multi-leg domestic permits — per 2025-2026 guidance, special domestic permits valid up to 30 days cover multi-leg Indonesian itineraries on one approval.
- CIQ fast-track — customs, immigration, and quarantine coordination for passengers and crew at the GA terminal.
- Ramp supervision — a named coordinator on the apron for every turnaround, feeding your ops room timestamped WhatsApp updates.
- Crew support — accommodation, transport, and duty-time-friendly logistics at USD 150 per day, hotels and transport billed at cost, as of 2026.
- KKOP and authority coordination — handled through official written channels only.
We are a coordination desk operated by BD Juara Holding Group, working with licensed ground handlers and the GA terminal operator. We are not an airline, not an AOC holder, and hold no affiliation with TNI AU or any government institution. Every filing moves through official procedure.
What should foreign operators know about cabotage and permits?
Cabotage is the trap that catches first-time Indonesia operators. Domestic commercial traffic is reserved for Indonesian-registered (PK-) aircraft, so a foreign-registered jet cannot sell a Jakarta-Bali leg as revenue carriage. What a foreign tail can do: arrive internationally, reposition without selling the leg, depart internationally. We flag cabotage exposure during quoting, before anything reaches the DGCA.
Three clocks run in parallel as of August 2026: the DGCA landing permit at 3-5 business days, slot/PPR confirmation, and the FSC filing in SMS-FSC. Bad sequencing is the most common cause of a slipped Bali rotation. For Bali-Lombok-Labuan Bajo patterns, the 30-day special domestic permit keeps a whole positioning program on one paper trail.
For your compliance calendar: ICAO Annex 14 Amendment 18 on ground handling becomes applicable 26 November 2026 and will shape handling standards at DPS through 2027. We track Angkasa Pura I’s implementation so your SOPs update once.
What does handling at DPS cost per movement?
Two layers, never to be confused: statutory charges published by the airport, and commercial services quoted by the market. No Bali partner should present market bands as official tariffs.
Statutory charges, per the published DPS charge schedule as of August 2026:
| Statutory item | Published rate |
|---|---|
| International landing, up to 40 t MTOW | USD 3.64 per tonne |
| International landing, 41-100 t | USD 145.6 + USD 4.19 per tonne over 41 t |
| International landing, above 100 t | USD 397.0 + USD 4.72 per tonne over 100 t |
| Domestic landing, up to 40 t | IDR 4,581 per tonne |
| Passenger service charge | IDR 200,000 international / IDR 75,000 domestic per pax |
| Movement-based charge | USD 37 (0-100 t) / USD 93 (100-200 t) per movement |
Fuel runs separately: according to the Logistics Capacity Assessment, jet fuel at DPS prices at USD 0.907 per litre international and USD 1.00 domestic.
Commercial services are quote-based bands, as of August 2026 and subject to change:
| Service | Indicative band | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| FBO ground handling | USD 800-2,500 | Per movement, by aircraft size |
| CIQ handling | USD 150-400 | Per arrival |
| GA arrival/departure concierge | From USD 400 | Per movement |
| Crew logistics management | USD 150 per day | Hotels and transport at cost |
| Chauffeured airport transfer | From USD 150 | Alphard or V-Class, per route |
| Helicopter onward connection | USD 200 coordination fee | Charter billed by licensed operator |
| Typical all-in arrival, light jet | USD 2,500-5,000 | Per arrival, market benchmark |
| Typical all-in arrival, heavy jet | USD 6,000-12,000 | Per arrival, market benchmark |
Your quote itemizes the split, so client billing stays clean and finance can reconcile pass-throughs against airport documentation.
How does operator onboarding work?
- Ops-to-ops introduction. Message the WhatsApp line with AOC state, fleet list, and expected Bali frequency. A coordinator, not a sales script, replies.
- Document exchange. We swap onboarding packs — yours listed below, ours covering partner handlers, escalation contacts, and billing entity. NDA on request.
- Trial movement quote. Line-item quote for a named tail and date, statutory charges separated from service fees.
- Supervised first rotation. Our coordinator meets the aircraft, runs CIQ and the turnaround, and feeds your ops room timestamped updates.
- Debrief and standing SOP. Preferences recorded — fuel release, catering source, crew hotel band, transfer fleet — so rotation two runs without re-briefing.
- Terms. Continue per movement, or fix seasonal terms for July-August and December-January capacity.
Operator onboarding checklist
- AOC copy and operations specifications
- Certificate of registration and airworthiness for each tail

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a foreign-registered charter aircraft fly revenue legs between Indonesian airports?
No. Cabotage rules reserve domestic commercial carriage for Indonesian-registered aircraft. A foreign-registered jet may arrive internationally, reposition domestically without selling that leg, and depart internationally — but selling a Jakarta-Bali sector on a foreign tail invites enforcement problems. We screen every itinerary for cabotage exposure before any permit application is lodged, as of August 2026.
How early should charter operators request DPS slots in peak season?
For July-August and December-January, file slot and PPR requests 7-14 days ahead — the roughly 14-stand GA apron fills fastest then. In any season, allow at least the 3-5 business days the DGCA landing permit currently takes as of August 2026, so slot, permit, and handling confirmation arrive together.
Do operators with in-house ops teams still need a Bali handling partner?
Yes. Indonesian regulation, reconfirmed in 2025, makes ground handling mandatory for foreign-registered jets at all Indonesian airports, so self-handling is not an option at DPS. Your ops room keeps dispatch and flight watch; the local partner covers apron supervision, CIQ coordination, and the filings that must originate inside Indonesia.
What credit terms can charter operators expect for Bali handling?
Quote-based and earned. First movements are typically prepaid or card-secured; after a short track record, monthly settlement can be agreed in writing. Statutory items — landing, passenger service, movement charges — pass through at documented cost against airport paperwork. Every quote separates official charges from commercial service fees, as of August 2026.
Can one permit cover a multi-leg Indonesian itinerary?
Often, yes. Per 2025-2026 guidance, special domestic permits valid up to 30 days cover multi-leg itineraries — useful for programs positioning between Bali, Lombok, and Labuan Bajo on a single approval. Standard landing permits still move through the DGCA process in 3-5 business days, so the paperwork sequence decides whether your schedule holds.
