    Overflight Permits in Bermuda’s International Operations

    When it comes to overflight permits for business aviation operations in Bermuda, operators enjoy a significant advantage—none are required. Bermuda distinguishes itself by not imposing overflight permit obligations for charter or private non-revenue flights traversing its airspace. This lack of overflight permit requirements simplifies flight planning, reduces administrative burdens, and lowers operational costs. Operators can seamlessly plan routes through Bermudan airspace without the need to submit additional permit applications, enhancing the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of their business aviation operations in the region.

    Landing Permits in Bermuda's International Operations

    Navigating Bermuda’s landing permit requirements for business aviation operations demands careful attention to procedures and timelines. To facilitate successful operations, it’s crucial to understand the stipulations and submit requests in advance. Bermuda’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) mandates charter (non-scheduled commercial) permits for all charter flights to the island, irrespective of aircraft size. This includes compliance with Article 135 of the Air Navigation (Overseas Territories) Order, with the exception of UK and UK territory-registered aircraft. Private non-revenue flights, however, are exempt from these landing permit requirements.

    Operators should plan ahead, as Bermuda’s Department of Civil Aviation processes landing permits during regular office hours (Monday-Friday, 0900-1700 local time), with a standard lead time of seven days. While short-notice requests are considered on a case-by-case basis, advance planning is advisable. When applying for landing permits, operators must provide a comprehensive set of documents, including airworthiness and registration certificates, air operator certificates, full schedules, aircraft tail numbers, operator details, and complete crew/passenger information.

    Moreover, compliance with Overseas Territories Aviation Requirements (OTAR) 91 and Article 105 of the Air Navigation (Overseas Territories) Order 2013 or the Order currently in effect is essential. The submission should also include a statement confirming the absence of dangerous goods, weapons, or munitions of war. Operators should work with third-party providers to ensure all required documentation is submitted concurrently with the permit request, as landing permits will not be processed until all documents are received. Adhering to these guidelines ensures a smooth and hassle-free experience when operating to Bermuda.
