Your Trusted Landing Permit Partner at Palanga International Airport (IATA: PLQ, ICAO: EYPA) with Just Aviation

To secure landing permits for international flights into Lithuania, operators must follow the guidelines established by the Lithuanian Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Lithuanian Transport Safety Administration (LTSA). Applications must be submitted at least three working days before the scheduled flight. The required submission includes a comprehensive flight plan detailing the route, estimated departure and arrival times, and potential alternative airports in case of unforeseen circumstances. In addition to the flight plan, operators must submit proof of aircraft registration, an airworthiness certificate, a valid insurance certificate covering third-party liability, an Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) for commercial flights, or a comparable certificate for non-commercial operations, and a noise certificate in line with ICAO Annex 16 standards.

The regulations differ depending on the type of operation. For non-commercial flights, operators must ensure that their flights do not conflict with scheduled services and provide a detailed itinerary. Scheduled flights must be compliant with EU air transport laws, and operators must have the necessary bilateral agreements in place. Non-scheduled flights, particularly those transporting special or dangerous cargo, may require additional permits and approvals.

Further considerations include obtaining airport slots at slot-coordinated airports and ensuring compliance with customs, immigration, and passenger information regulations. Additionally, operators must adhere to Lithuania’s environmental regulations, including noise control measures and emissions standards, to minimize the environmental impact of their operations.
