This belief is apparent when a GDS representative meets your aircraft. From their facility at Tobalaba, GDS is only 10 minutes from Santiago's main hotels, such as the Hyatt, Sheraton, Radisson and Sonesta. GDS Aviation can supply air-conditioned vans for transporting both crew and passengers or luxury car rentals, as well as arrange hotel accommodations. Representatives will help process crew and passengers through immigration and custom clearances. A VIP passenger lounge and kitchen is available along with telephones and fax machines.
Crews can use the pilot's lounge and office, equipped with a CD player and videos to pass the time.
In addition, GDS works with the main Chilean tourist office to coordinate special VIP packages, such as fishing, sailing and other outdoor activities. GDS Aviation can accommodate your catering needs, as well as repair your aircraft. Using their own hangar facilities, GDS can service light jet or turboprops and in-line maintenance can be provided along with fueling. They can also coordinate any specific requests needed with a FAA-approved maintenance service. For more information on your stops in Chile, please contact Air Routing operations.
