In Turkey, the General Directorate of State Airports Authority (DHMİ) oversees the requirements for obtaining landing permits. Non-scheduled (charter) flights and foreign aircraft must secure a landing permit at least 24 hours before their planned arrival. This involves submitting various required documents.

1. Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC): A mandatory document for operators engaged in commercial aviation activities.
2. Insurance Certificate (IC): Provides evidence of liability insurance for the aircraft, covering third-party claims and potentially other risks.
3. Flight Plan (FP): A detailed document that outlines entry and exit points, scheduled dates and times, and the departure and arrival airports.
4. Noise Compliance Certificate (NCC): Ensures that the aircraft adheres to noise regulations set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
5. Crew Credentials (CC): Comprises pilot licenses, medical certificates, crew passports, and any required visas based on the nationality of the crew.
6. Aircraft Registration Certificate (ARC): Essential for verifying the official registration of the aircraft.
7. Passenger Manifest (PL): For commercial flights, this document lists all passengers along with necessary customs declarations for each individual.
8. Slot Confirmation (SC): Approval from the airport authority confirming the allocated time slots for landing and takeoff at the requested airport.
9. Special Permits (SP): Additional authorizations that may be necessary for:
Charter Operations (CO): Foreign commercial operators may require specific permissions.
Cargo Transport (CF): Depending on the nature of the cargo, permits for hazardous materials may be essential.
Humanitarian Missions or Special Events (HM/SE).
10. Security Clearances (SC): Extra security approvals may be needed for flights involving dignitaries or other special circumstances.
11. Slot Confirmation (SC): Approval from the airport authority confirming the allocated time slots for landing and takeoff at the requested airport.

Additionally, pilots must provide a passenger manifest and details about any cargo being transported. Scheduled flights by foreign carriers typically do not need these permits. However, all operators must follow Turkish civil aviation regulations and might need security clearances from the appropriate authorities. Fees for landing permits, which vary based on the type of aircraft and duration of stay, are outlined in DHMİ’s tariff documents.
