Helpful Tips

  • Use a Compatible Internet Browser

A significant number of customer support calls we receive are related to the browser that is being used.  Air Services is designed to function in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). If you experience a problem in a different browser, please perform the same function in IE to resolve it. Here are some tips to resolve the most common issues:

    • Microsoft Edge comes with Windows 10 but is not compatible with many eBusiness Center applications, including Air Services.  Click here to see instructions for how to start Internet Explorer in Windows 10.
    • If you use IE 11, we posted instructions on how to change settings for Air Services to work properly. Click here to see the instructions.  
    • Pop-Up windows are used in Air Services. Many users have the ability for a web page to display pop-up windows blocked.  In order to use Air Services you must turn the Pop-Up Blocker off.  You can configure these settings in IE under the Tools menu. 
  • Allow for time to get a PIN

In order to submit most reports or grant access to someone to prepare a report, a responsible official at a company must have a PIN. If you are unsure if you need a PIN, please follow this link for more information. The process to get a PIN involves sending the information to the user via U.S. mail and cannot be expedited via email or fax.  Please include this processing time in your planning.
