Tips for the 2013 Japan Grand Prix
Houston (Sept. 23, 2013) –Universal Weather and Aviation, Inc. is recommending that business
aircraftoperators planning to attend the 2013 Japan Formula 1 Grand Prix, October 11-13
secureaircraft parking, local transport and aircraft services now. The race will be held at Suzuka
circuit, which is about 50 km south of Nagoya, Japan.
Business aircraft operators have three airports to consider for this event: Nagoya (RJGG), one
hour from the track; Komaki (RJNA), a 1.5-hour drive; and Osaka (RJBB), 2.5 hours from the
circuit, said Hiroshi Higashiyama, Representative Director for Universal Aviation Japan.
“It’s important to request airport slots and prior permissions required (PPRs) for aircraft parking
as early as possible,” agreed Larry Williams, Trip Owner, Universal®. “And charter operators
should submit permit requests now as requestscan take at least three business days to process.”
Higashiyama recommended working with a local ground handler to help arrange logistics and
services on the ground.
“To avoid heavy traffic in the circuit area, one consideration for Grand Prix attendees is to
charter a helicopter,” said Higashiyama. “Transfers from RJGG, RJNA and RJBB to Suzukatake
15, 30 and 60 minutes, respectively.There are many excellent hotel options in the Nagoya and
Osaka areas, including a wide selection of 4- and 5-star accommodations, including popular
international chains. Due to increased traffic during this busy period, it’s recommended that
hotels and pre-paid transport be booked as far in advance as possible.”
