Landing and Overflight Permits for India

At FBO Operators, we provide complete trip support services for flight operators seeking landing permits and overflight clearance in India. We help you get all the required permissions quickly and follow DGCA rules. This includes non-scheduled flights, cargo flights, passenger flights, technical stops, and air ambulances.

Landing and Overflight Permits for Different Flight Types

 A flight landing permit or overflight permit in India is required for any non-scheduled flight that plans to land in the country. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) issues these approvals for arrivals, departures, technical stops, and airspace transit.

We handle every detail to ensure your application meets the official landing permit and overflight permit requirements in India. Our team checks your aircraft documents, insurance, and flight schedule to make sure everything follows DGCA rules before we submit it.

We help operators obtain landing and overflight permits for the following flight types:

  1. Passenger Flight
  2. Cargo Flight
  3. Technical Flight Requirements
  4. Air Ambulance Flight (Medevac Flight).
  5. Ferry Flights (Aircraft Repositioning or Delivery).
  6. Diplomatic Flights (Government Operations).
  7. Military Flight (Defense or armed forces operations).

India Overflight Clearance and Airspace Authorization

An India overflight clearance lets an aircraft fly through Indian airspace without landing. It is important for all international and non-scheduled flights to get DGCA approval before crossing India’s Flight Information Regions (FIRs).

Our team works with the DGCA and AAI to get airspace clearance and transit permits quickly. We make sure your route follows all rules and continues smoothly through Indian airspace.
