Overflight Permits in Bhutan’s International Operations
To conduct non-scheduled or private flights into and over Bhutan, foreign registered aircraft operators must obtain prior approval from the Director General of Bhutan Civil Aviation Authority (DG – BCAA). Applications for such approvals should be submitted through the approved agent, Bhutan Air Services (BAS), in advance of the intended operation. Operators must adhere to specific category C requirements for Paro International Airport, including the presence of a guide pilot with experience at the aerodrome or simulator training. Approval timelines vary based on the type of flight, ranging from 3 to 14 days. The DG – BCAA may impose conditions on passenger and cargo carriage, and flight clearances are valid for 72 hours, requiring re-clearance for delayed operations.
Landing Permits in Bhutan’s International Operations
Landing permits for non-scheduled commercial, private, and other flights in Bhutan are processed through Bhutan Air Services (BAS), the approved agent for the Bhutan Civil Aviation Authority (BCAA). Operators must submit applications according to specified timelines, ranging from 3 to 14 days, depending on the type of flight. The BCAA may assign a Flight Clearance Number (FCN) and impose conditions on passenger and cargo carriage. Applications must follow a prescribed format and be routed through BAS. Flight clearances are valid for 72 hours, requiring re-clearance for delayed operations. Pilots-in-command must have the FCN on board and quoted as needed for efficient air traffic control communication. Additionally, operators must ensure visa requirements, ground handling, fueling, and charges are addressed prior to departure from Bhutan.
