Comprehensive Landing Permit Management at Charles de Gaulle Airport (IATA: CDG, ICAO: LFPG) by Just Aviation

To secure a landing permit for Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), operators must follow regulations established by the French Civil Aviation Authority (DGAC). Non-scheduled commercial flights and general aviation flights require a landing permit, whereas scheduled commercial flights only need slot allocations without a separate permit. The application process involves submitting essential documentation, including an Air Operator Certificate (AOC), Certificate of Airworthiness, Insurance Certificate, Noise Certificate, Aircraft Registration Certificate, Crew Licenses, Flight Plan, and Handling Agent Confirmation. Applications should be submitted at least 48 hours before the flight, although urgent flights may be accepted with shorter notice, subject to DGAC approval.

Landing permits are generally valid for a single flight or multiple flights within a designated period, as specified on the issued permit. However, operational restrictions apply, especially for night operations between 22:00 and 06:00 local time, which require specific slot allocations. Noise abatement procedures must also be strictly observed to ensure compliance.

Fees are calculated based on the aircraft’s maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) and the time of landing, with additional charges for parking, handling, and other services. Operators are advised to adhere to the approved schedule to avoid penalties. Early submission of permit applications helps streamline the process, ensuring timely approval and smooth operations at CDG.
