Argentina overflight permits
Since March 2024, every foreign aircraft crossing Argentine airspace needs an overflight permit, private flights included. Here is what ANAC requires for overflights and landings.
- Authority
- Administración Nacional de Aviación Civil (ANAC)
- Overflight
- Permit required for all foreign aircraft
- Overflight lead time
- At least 72 hours
- Charter landing
- Permit required; 7 days' notice
01Overflight permits since 2024
Under AIP SUP 32/2024, effective 13 March 2024, all foreign aircraft transiting the Ezeiza, Córdoba, Mendoza, Resistencia and Comodoro Rivadavia FIRs need an overflight permit from ANAC, requested at least 72 hours ahead. Search and rescue, humanitarian, air ambulance and firefighting flights are exempt. Do not treat a permit as granted until ANAC confirms it.
Private operators send the certificate of airworthiness and proof of insurance; commercial operators add the AOC.
02Landing permits
Private non-revenue flights need no landing permit, but the flight plan remarks should give the operator's name, address and contact details. Large private aircraft such as BBJs should send their cabin configuration in advance so ANAC does not class the flight as commercial.
Charter flights and technical stops need a landing permit, with an official lead time of seven days. Flights to the Falkland Islands through Argentine airspace need a permit processed by the Air Force and ANAC, with seven business days' notice.
Clear customs and immigration at an airport of entry such as Buenos Aires Ezeiza (SAEZ) or San Fernando (SADF) before flying on to domestic-only airports.
03Documents for an Argentina permit
For charter landing permits, prepare:
- Certificates of airworthiness and registration, insurance and crew licences, apostilled in the country of origin and translated in Argentina
- A letter of representation from a local legal representative
- AOC
- Schedule, routing and passenger details
04How we handle Argentine permits
Send us the aircraft, routing and schedule. Our OCC checks the current Argentine requirements for your flight type, prepares the request, files it and follows it up until the permit number is issued. We then pass it to the crew and the flight plan, and revise it if the schedule moves.
We arrange the permits for the rest of the routing in the same trip file, with overflight permits for the countries you cross and landing permits at your destination.
