Elevated Landing Permit Solutions at Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport (IATA: BCU, ICAO: DNBC) with Just Aviation

To obtain a landing permit for scheduled or non-scheduled flights in Nigeria, operators must adhere to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Regulations (Nig.CARs) Part 8. Operators are required to submit a landing permit application to the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), which applies to both scheduled and non-scheduled flights. The application process involves providing key documentation, including aircraft registration and airworthiness certificates, insurance certificates covering third-party liability, and noise certificates where applicable. Additionally, operators must supply operational specifications and schedules for scheduled flights.

Flight details such as the route, flight plan, and purpose of the flight—whether for cargo, passengers, or other operations—must also be included in the application. Operators must hold a valid Air Operator Certificate (AOC) appropriate to the specific type of operation they intend to conduct. Furthermore, payment of the prescribed fees outlined in NCAA regulations is mandatory.

Compliance with international standards is also a crucial requirement. Operators must align with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) to ensure operational safety and security. These measures collectively help maintain adherence to both national and international aviation standards.
