• Fly Indico Air Charter and Shuttle Services are not scheduled operations.

We point out that bags are not tagged and checked-in like in large airlines: they remain always under the control of the customer who must not lose sight of them. When excess baggage is carried it will be charged at the prevailing freight rate‚ subject to space and or weight availability.
