This loss can occur at any time, from approval up until departure.

Non-Crew Member – Citizenship and/or Visa Requirement Traveling to United States
All requests for jumpseat authorization by a foreign national coming into or through the U.S. on an Atlas or Polar aircraft must be accompanied by a photocopy of their U.S. Visa showing a C1/D1 classification. This is the only type of Visa that can be used for travel to the United States on a cargo carrier.
Please note that pursuant to our TSA and FAA approved Security Program we cannot approve jumpseat requests for non-company employees (United States Citizens or non-United States Citizens) unless the individual is accompanying cargo or is traveling for the safety of the aircraft. Those reasons must be specified in the original jumpseat request.
