Overflight & Landing Permits
Clearances, secured swiftly.
Clearances, secured swiftly.
Any aircraft transiting Nigerian airspace or landing at a Nigerian airport needs the correct overflight or landing permit from the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority before the flight departs. The process asks for operator documentation, aircraft details and route information, and the paperwork has to match exactly or the filing gets delayed.
AviaGreene prepares and files these permits on your behalf. We collect the required documentation once, submit it in the format the authority expects, and track the approval through to confirmation, so you have a cleared permit in hand before departure rather than a pending application.
We handle both routine bookings made days in advance and short-notice requests where a route has changed and a new permit is needed quickly. Approval windows vary by request type and season, so we confirm a realistic timeline as soon as we have your flight details rather than giving a blanket estimate.
What this covers
- Overflight and landing permits for Nigerian airspace
- Diplomatic clearances arranged where required
- Documentation checked against NCAA requirements before submission
- Short-notice and urgent permit requests accepted
- Status updates while your application is pending
Common questions
What documentation do you need from me to file a permit?
Typically the operator certificate, aircraft registration, insurance details, crew list and full route plan. We confirm the exact list once we know whether it is an overflight, landing, or diplomatic clearance.
How long does permit approval usually take?
Most overflight and landing permits clear within 24 to 72 hours once we have complete documentation. Diplomatic clearances and short-notice requests can take longer or shorter depending on the route and season, and we will tell you a specific estimate once we have your details.
Can you arrange a permit for a route that changes at short notice?
Yes. Short-notice filings are one of the more common reasons operators contact us directly, and we prioritise these over standard bookings.
