Comprehensive Landing Permit Services at Vilnius International Airport (IATA: VNO, ICAO: EYVI) by Just Aviation

Landing permits for international flights to Lithuania’s airports must be obtained in accordance with the regulations established by the Lithuanian Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) and the Lithuanian Transport Safety Administration (LTSA). Operators should submit their permit applications no later than three working days before the scheduled flight. The application must include a comprehensive flight plan, detailing the route, expected times of arrival and departure, and alternative landing sites. Essential documents, such as the aircraft’s registration, airworthiness certificate, third-party liability insurance, and a noise certificate compliant with ICAO Annex 16, must also be provided. For commercial operations, an Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) is required, while non-commercial operators must submit equivalent documentation.

Flight type-specific requirements apply. Non-commercial flights are subject to restrictions, ensuring they do not disrupt scheduled services, and must submit a thorough itinerary with their application. Operators of scheduled flights must comply with EU air transport regulations and ensure any required bilateral agreements are in place. For non-scheduled flights involving special cargo or dangerous goods, additional permits are necessary.

Other critical considerations include securing airport slots at slot-coordinated airports and adhering to customs, immigration, and Advance Passenger Information (API) obligations. Operators must also meet environmental standards, including noise reduction and emissions compliance, to ensure sustainable operations at Lithuania’s airports.
