EGYPT

Egyptian law requires applications through an Egyptian agent only. The permits are valid for the Zulu date only, so be sure to keep your AMERICAN FLIGHT SUPPORT updated of any changes. these are straight forward with standard documents. Occasionally, we’ve seen the need for a TCAS certificate.

Keep an eye on safeairspace.net for risk factors when flying over or to Egypt

LIBYA

Don’t overfly or land in Libya, it’s that simple. The airspace is not safe, and the airports are frequently being shelled or are staging grounds for fighting. NOTAMs are being sent stating the airports are open 24 hours, but extreme caution should be taken.

Use an agent if you must travel here.

Safeairspace.net will be current with airspace warnings for Libya.

MOROCOO

For private flights,  no  overfly  or  landing  is  required  in Morocco, but you’ll need to file your flight plan six hours in advance  to  GMMRADTA  and  GMMMZQZX. If you’re operating around Laayoune, Dakhla, Guelmime, Bouarfa and Tan-Tan, you’ll need a permit.

Commercial flights require a permit, and be sure to fill and stamp the required form.

It’s actually quite difficult to work directly with the authorities here, so we suggest to work with AMERICAN FLIGHT SUPPORT Ops Team.

TUNISHA

Always use the AMERICAN FLIGHT SUPPORT’s agent here. It is difficult to get any  response  from  the  CAA directly.   Its  pretty  simple   to  apply  and  get  approval  when  using  the  agent.

Notification times are 24 hours for private flight, three days for an overflight and ten days for one off charter landing.

WESTERN SAHARA

No overfly permit is needed for operations over water, but refer to Morocco for all permits, even though Spain runs the airspace.

Often, when operating in Western Sahara, we’d just make a single request to the agent for both the Western Sahara and Morocco authorizations, they’ll both be approved together (and we suggest AMERICAN FLIGHT SUPPORT as your agent). contact us 1-888-245-4017 or ops@americanflightsupport.com
