NCAA · Nigeria
Nigeria overflight and landing permits.
Nigeria is West Africa's busiest business aviation market and its permit process rewards starting early. Documentation is checked thoroughly, and an incomplete filing causes real delay rather than a phone call asking for the missing page.

LEAD TIME
Start well ahead. Approvals do come through faster than the worst case, but a Nigerian trip planned on a short fuse is a trip planned on hope.

The document pack
- 01Aircraft registration, airworthiness and insurance.
- 02Operator air operator certificate for commercial flights.
- 03Crew and passenger manifest with passport details.
- 04Purpose of flight and local sponsor details where applicable.
- 05Confirmed handling, and confirmed fuel where the routing depends on uplift.
WHAT CATCHES PEOPLE OUT
Fuel availability in the region has historically been a genuine planning variable rather than a given. We confirm uplift before the trip is committed, because discovering it on the ramp turns a technical stop into an overnight.
We file it, not you
Send the route and the tail number. We work out which permits it needs, file each one, and track it to a permit number rather than a submission receipt.
