Accountability. Attune Aviation Ltd. is responsible for the personal information under its control and is responsible for ensuring compliance with the principles of this privacy policy. Should you have any questions regarding this policy or concerns with respect to Attune Aviation Ltd.’s compliance with the requirements of PIPEDA, please contact Attune Aviation Ltd.’s Privacy Office.
Identifying Purpose of Collection. We will need you to provide us with certain personal information whenever we purchase airline tickets or make a flight booking on your behalf. This personal information may include your name, address, telephone number, credit card number and the credit card’s expiry date. We require this information to identify you, contact you, if necessary, and to complete the process of your purchase. We may also request your gender to assist in estimating the aircraft’s total load and as an additional identifier. If you request a customized service we need to collect additional personal information. The information collected will be forwarded to the flight provider who may in turn provide it to airport staff in order to fulfill the necessary services.
Special Meals. Some flights sold by Attune Aviation Ltd.’s may include special meals to account for a range of dietary requirements and preferences. If you make such a request the information must be recorded in your travel booking. This information is then transferred to the applicable catering service as well as the flight provider.
Special Assistance. We offer a range of travel services to individuals requiring special assistance. We also do our best to make your travel with us as comfortable as possible. Safety and comfort are always top priorities at Attune Aviation Ltd. To assure the safety and comfort of our passengers and crew we need to know of any special requirements for assistance. in order to ensure that all necessary precautions for your safety and enjoyment are made. This information will be forwarded to the flight provider, airport staff as well as to the flight crew.
In certain airports we outsource the ground handling to another airline. If that is the case, we need to transfer the information to the handling airline. If your travel includes a transfer from Attune Aviation Ltd. to another airline the requirement for special assistance may also be transferred so that the receiving airline can accommodate you as best as possible.
Unaccompanied Minors. Children between the ages of five to eleven may travel alone on provisions for the unaccompanied minor to be escorted by Attune Aviation Ltd. agents and/or flight attendants. The service must be requested at the same time the child’s flight is booked by the child’s parent/guardian. Upon arrival at the airport, the child’s parent or guardian will be required to complete “a request for carriage” form. The information on this form identifies the child and their flight itinerary as well as the identification and contact names of the people meeting the child at the transfer points or final destination. We also require the name, address and a contact telephone number and authorizing signature of the parent or guardian authorizing the request for travel. This information is required in order to assure the safety of the child. From the moment they arrive at airport check-in, until they reach their final destination, all children are escorted and supervised by our staff. If the travel itinerary includes a transfer, ground staff will escort the child and see him/her safely onboard the connecting flight. If the child’s travel plans include another airline we must transfer the information so that the receiving airline may continue this safe and efficient process.
Because of the additional security precautions necessary to protect children, bookings for unaccompanied minors (8-11 years old) cannot be made online at www.TappJet.com.
