Is it a case of essentially saying, absolutely no problem sir/madam and co-ordinating with ops to deal with the consequences for the second owner?
It may seem like a odd question but it's all well and good doing what one owner wants, but at the detriment of another owner? Or is that for ops to decide?
Thanks.
impossible to answer that generally. Normally if the passenger wishes to return and it's doable it will be done. If someone forgot his passport for example you can't really deny this request because the outcome at the next destination might be worse than the returning and relanding. But that all depends on various factors such as MLW, Weather, duty times, opening hours of the aerodrome,etc. After landing you would normally call the company and ask them what to do. The bigger the company is the better the options for the remaining missions. New crew, new aircraft and reschedule, etc is all possible.
