Somalia Overflight Permit Regulation and Procedures

If you're an operator of a business jet or a commercial airline with plans to flyover Somalia airspace, obtaining a Somalia Overflight Permit from the Somalia Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is mandatory. As a flight dispatcher, it's important to have a good understanding of the requirements for obtaining this permit, including the fact that the issuing of an overflight permit confirms that there is no political or security objection to your airline, aircraft, or country of origin/destination and that there are no outstanding navigation fees due to the ATC authority.

1. What are CAA's working hours, including whether they are open on weekends?
2. Which aircraft documents must be submitted with the overflight request?
3. Are there any fees charged by the CAA for processing the permit?
4. What is the official validity period of the overflight permit, as determined by the CAA?
5. How can the Somalia air navigation bill be obtained, either through IATA or a local agent?

The following documents are typically required to obtain an overflight permit for Somalia: completed application, aircraft registration and airworthiness certificate, pilot's license and medical certificate, insurance certificate, flight plan for your intended route through Somalia airspace, It's important to note that the process of obtaining an overflight permit for Somalia can be complex and time-consuming, so it's recommended to start the application process well in advance of your planned flight.
