Prior Permission Required (PPR)
Clearance for all aircraft arrivals to Little Gransden Air & Car Show
Plan your arrival at Little Gransden
If you’re flying in for the show, you’ll need to request Prior Permission Required (PPR) before arriving.
PPR simply lets us know who’s arriving, when, and in what aircraft – so we can manage traffic safely and efficiently on the day.
PPR helps us manage aircraft movements safely, ensuring smooth arrivals and departures while allowing us to prepare for busy periods and keep everything running to schedule. Without PPR approval, arrivals may be delayed or refused.

Arrive by Air Frequently Asked Questions
What does PPR mean?
PPR stands for Prior Permission Required – you must request approval before landing at the airfield.

When should I request PPR?
As early as possible.
