Tailored Landing Permit Coordination at Nelson Mandela International Airport (IATA: RAI, ICAO: GVNP) by Just Aviation

At Nelson Mandela International Airport (RAI), the landing permit application process requires submission at least 5 business days prior to the intended flight, with applications processed during normal office hours (Monday to Friday, 08:00-16:00 local time). The required documents for the application include a valid airworthiness certificate, aircraft registration certificate, Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) for commercial operators, proof of insurance covering the aircraft and third-party liability, a detailed flight itinerary with dates, times, and destinations, crew and passenger information including passport details, and an explanation of the flight’s purpose (commercial, private, or cargo). Operational requirements include securing prior permission slots for landing and takeoff, compliance with local noise abatement procedures, and ensuring all customs and immigration procedures are followed upon arrival. Landing permits are generally valid for 72 hours, with no need for revisions if changes to the flight schedule or passenger list occur within this period. However, any alterations outside this validity window or significant changes to the flight plan will require a permit revision.
