Narrative:

We entered the ramp at C11 west/O clearance from air carrier Y gate control because we were cleared in by air carrier X, owner of the gate. Our company did not notify any pilots of the need to get such clearance from air carrier Y no hazard occurred but it sure messed up the traffic flow. If an airport has special rules like this, they should be notamed!
