What is a flight technical stop?

A technical stop is a brief operational pause during a flight, where passengers typically remain onboard. The airline will inform you of any specific procedures during the stop.

Strategically planned for fuel efficiency and regulatory compliance, technical stops contribute to overall flight safety.

Please note: depending on your nationality, certain destinations may require a visa for technical stops. Verify this information with the embassy or the airline to ensure compliance with entry requirements, and seek guidance on visa applications if necessary.
