Facilitating Business Aviation Operations with Overflight and Landing Permissions at Azerbaijan International Airports

Overflight Permits in Azerbaijan’s International Operations

When applying for overflight permits specifically for Azerbaijan, it is important to understand that airspace management in Europe, including Azerbaijan, falls under the purview of the Network Manager (NM) or the Network Management Operations Centre (NMOC), formerly known as the Central Flow Management Unit (CFMU). This operational unit, managed by Eurocontrol, oversees airspace management across a vast region, extending from the north edge of Africa, including Morocco, to the west in Ireland, north to Finland, and as far east as Azerbaijan.

While flight planning procedures in Europe, including Azerbaijan, are generally straightforward with no particularly burdensome requirements, it is advisable to be well-informed about NM procedures and mandates. Best practice dictates reviewing flight planning requirements with your 3rd-party provider before operating within NM airspace, ensuring compliance with regulations and facilitating a smooth and safe overflight through Azerbaijani airspace.
