How long do permits take?

Anywhere from same day to several weeks depending on the state. Most of Europe and North America is quick. Parts of Africa, Central Asia and the Middle East need real lead time.

Can you get a permit for an aircraft on a special flight permit?

Usually yes, but the state needs to see the permit conditions. This is exactly the kind of case where filing early matters.

Overflight and landing permits

Permits are the usual reason a ferry slips. Every state on your route has its own lead time, its own documentation set and its own idea of what a non-revenue flight is.

What states ask for

The documentation set varies, but a consistent pack solves most of it: certificate of registration, certificate of airworthiness or special flight permit, insurance certificate with the right wording, noise certificate, crew licences and the operator's authority.

We keep these packs assembled and current for each movement so a request from a civil aviation authority does not cost three days.

Difficult jurisdictions

Some states take weeks, require a local sponsor or refuse certain operating bases. We tell you which ones apply to your route in the quote rather than after you have committed to a date, and we propose alternative corridors where they exist.
