Seamless Approvals for Business Aviation Overflight and Landing at Burkina Faso International Airports

Overflight and Landing Permits in Burkina Faso’s International Operations

Obtaining overflight and landing permits for Burkina Faso requires attention to specific details and procedures. To acquire an overflight permit, you must provide essential information:

Firstly, submit a complete flight schedule that outlines your intended route and timing. Specify the entry and exit points for your flight through Burkina Faso’s airspace. For passenger flights, include details of all passengers, and for cargo flights, provide information about the consignee and consignor.

The overflight permit you receive will have a specific format, like “Burkina Faso Overflight Permit: 2018-0781/ANAC/DG.” It’s crucial to insert this permit number in Item 18 of your submitted Flight Plan. Notably, Burkina Faso’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) does not impose any official processing fees for overflight permit issuance. The validity of a Burkina Faso overflight permit extends to +72 hours from your initially requested schedule. Burkina Faso’s airspace is organized into a single Flight Information Region (FIR) with the ICAO code “DRRR.”

For the issuance of Burkina Faso overflight permits, the responsible authority is the Burkina Faso Civil Aviation Authority, located at Directorate of Civil Aviation BP 1158, Ouagadougou 01, Burkina Faso. Air navigation bills related to overflight in Burkina Faso will be directly issued to the airline or operator through “Asecna.” The Burkina Faso Civil Aviation Authority operates during the hours of 0800Z to 1800Z from Monday to Friday. Weekends in Burkina Faso consist of Saturday and Sunday.
