Key Airports Requiring Permits
When Do You Need an Zimbabwe Landing Permit?
You need an Zimbabwe landing permit if you are operating:
✔ Private flights (general aviation)
✔ Charter flights (non-scheduled commercial flights)
✔ Cargo flights
✔ Military or diplomatic flights
✔ Emergency or medical evacuation flights
An aircraft can land at any airport in Zimbabwe with a landing permit, which is an official license from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) of Zimbabwe . All non-scheduled, private, and charter flights require this authorization.
Because their activities are covered by bilateral agreements, commercial airlines that operate regularly scheduled flights do not require a special permission.
