Seychelles is a beautiful island country located in the Indian Ocean. If you are planning to fly over Seychelles airspace, you may require an overflight permit. An overflight permit is a permission granted by the Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) to allow an aircraft to fly over the Seychelles airspace without landing. To obtain an overflight permit for Seychelles, you need to submit a request to the Seychelles Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) at least 72 hours before the flight. The request should include the following information: Flight details including the type of aircraft, registration, and flight route , Purpose of flight, Contact details of the operator and pilot-in-command. The SCAA will review your request and issue an overflight permit if all requirements are met. The permit will specify the conditions and restrictions for the flight.
