Cutting-Edge Landing Permit Services at Kaunas International Airport (IATA: KUN, ICAO: EYKA) by Just Aviation

Obtaining landing permits for international airports in Lithuania requires compliance with regulations set forth by the Lithuanian Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Lithuanian Transport Safety Administration (LTSA). Operators must submit applications for landing permits at least 3 working days before their planned flight. The application must include a detailed flight plan with route, estimated arrival and departure times, and alternative airports. Additionally, operators must provide proof of aircraft registration and an airworthiness certificate, valid third-party liability insurance, an Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) for commercial flights, or equivalent documentation for non-commercial flights, and a noise certificate compliant with ICAO Annex 16.

There are specific regulations for different types of flights. Non-commercial operators must ensure that their flights do not interfere with scheduled air services, providing a detailed itinerary in the application. For scheduled air services, operators must have bilateral agreements and adhere to EU air transport regulations. Non-scheduled air services involving special cargo or dangerous goods require additional permits.

Operators must also consider other factors, such as obtaining airport slots from authorities at slot-coordinated airports and ensuring compliance with customs, immigration, and advance passenger information (API) requirements. Adherence to environmental regulations, including noise abatement and emissions standards, is also mandatory to ensure sustainable operations at Lithuanian airports.
