Bolivia Overflight Permits

Bolivia’s complicated airspace structure and high altitude terrain provide special difficulties for foreign aviation operators.

All overflight permits are managed by the Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil (DGAC) via its Sistema Integrado de Gestión de Tránsito Aéreo (SIGTA) platform.

Since 2015, The Network Plan has successfully handled more than 1,200 Bolivia overflight permissions, with a focus on high-altitude operations and Andean crossings.
