Staying Current
From a pilot’s perspective, our world is a complicated mosaic of countries, rules, and permissions. As political situations and borders alter, these rules and requirements also change.
Planners of international flights must remain current and knowledgeable about these changes and ensure that they have the appropriate overflight, landing, and special permits needed for each country.
A lack of the appropriate permits and slots can result in denial of your over-flight permissions, denial of takeoff and landing requests, expensive re-routing of your international flights, and devastatingly affect all your carefully laid plans.

Permit requirements Vary
Permits can:
- Be dependent upon the region of the world you are flying into.
- Have variable request lead-times.
- Vary based on the type of flight operation (charter and commercial flights take longer).
- Possess complex fee structures.
- Be highly dependent on flight routes.
Typically, you will need to get a combination of permits, PPRs, and slots for any flight. Getting the correct permits for a flight can be complex and time-consuming.
- Some regions require more permits than others (e.g. Africa, China, India, and Russia).
- Some permits take longer to obtain than others.
- Permit requirements are always changing and are often complex and time-consuming to organize.
- Language barriers and cultural differences can often cause difficulties in obtaining your permits and PPRs.
This is a time-consuming, meticulous process, and one that leaves little room for errors.
For complex, multi-country flights, it is often best to seek the help of experienced 3rd party professionals such as Skyplan who bring years of experience, long established global contacts, and a deep understanding of this complex world.
Ensure your slot assignments
Slot Assignments
Air Traffic Control (ATC) assigns arrival, departure, and parking slots for every flight coming into its airport. These slots assignments are vital for managing flights, avoiding congestion, and optimizing airport operations.
In fact, airport slots are mandatory at all major airports around the world, and are assigned in accordance with IATA guidelines.
Slot assignment is a complex, constantly evolving task, requiring coordination between the airports and all flights.
Skyplan’s long experience and excellent relationships within the aviation industry can help you get the slots you need, when you need them. Call us today at 403-275-2520(2) and book your slots.
