You need their permission if you are carrying passengers for reward.
On top of this, you will need to get Customs & Excise's permission. Notification is not good enough. The alternative is to leave from a customs designated airport (no notice required), or leave from a GAA aerodrome (12 hours notice required). This is because the CI are outside of the EU.
