Narrative:

At AM32 local we were rerouted from overhead gck to gjt. Dispatch relayed all needed times and fuels, WX, and altitude, but forgot to mention non-tower operations not permitted by our company. We landed before tower opened. Essential information needed by flight crew. Should have held or gone to alternate, or have dispatch obtain flight operations permission and comply with company flight operations manual procedures for operations to non-tower airports. Debriefed with flight crew, company flight standards, and company flight dispatch.
