Overflight Permits
With the help of our dedicated permits team, you can make sure that your flight meets all of the local authorities’ requirements at transparent costs that vary by country and by the reason for your flight. When you ask for an overflight permit, you usually have to give the following information:
- Aircraft information: This includes details such as the aircraft type, registration number, and airworthiness certificate.
- Flight details: This includes the planned route, altitude, and estimated time of arrival and departure.
- Purpose of the flight: This includes information such as the type of operation (commercial or private), cargo or passengers on board, and the reason for the overflight.
- Insurance: Proof of valid insurance coverage is typically required.
- Payment: Some countries may require payment of a fee for the overflight permit.
- Compliance with regulations: The application must comply with all applicable regulations and requirements, such as air traffic control procedures, navigation requirements, and security protocols.
Not every country requires an overflight permit for every type of operation, and requirements depend on the aircraft, operator and purpose of the flight. We check what applies to each country on your route, so you only apply for what is needed.
Landing Permits & Slots Arrangement
Filing landing permit and slot applications is handled by Just Aviation once our operations team has received all important aircraft documents, as well as a complete crew and passenger manifest, so that landing permits are issued on time, even at short notice.
The devoted team at Just Aviation will manage your slot arrangement and landing permit applications, so you won’t have to spend any time considering the application’s language.
A slot is an approved time to land or depart at an airport with limited capacity. At coordinated airports you need a confirmed slot as well as a landing permit, so we handle both together to avoid delays or refused operations.
Monthly, Seasonal Block Permits
If your aircraft operates a high number of legs per season or a certain number of legs per month, then we are pleased to inform you that Just Aviation’s highly qualified operations team works to obtain Monthly, Seasonal Block Overflight Permits on short notice by coordinating with the countries’ CAAs once they have a full list of the airline’s information, aircraft documents, and licenses. In this instance, our team will do what needs to be done to apply for block permission in a timely manner.
A block permit covers many flights with a single approval, which saves repeated applications and gives your schedule more certainty. We track the validity of each block permit and renew it ahead of expiry.
