Flight Operations Support

Kenya can be a complex operating environment when an overseas operator needs local coordination. Facil Trans provides a single point of contact for aviation logistics requirements.

Overflight and landing permits

Aircraft operating over Kenyan territory may require the appropriate regulatory authorization depending on the operation.

Facil Trans supports operators with the coordination and application process for aviation permits and clearances, helping gather the required information, prepare documentation and follow up on applications.

KCAA

KCAA's current guidance states that flights into, from or over Kenya must comply with applicable Kenyan civil-aviation requirements, and applications may require documents such as aircraft registration, airworthiness, insurance, operator certification, passenger manifests or cargo manifests depending on the flight category. 

We can support applications relating to:

Commercial operators, Passenger & Cargo operators, Technical stops, Refueling stops, Crew-rest stops, Air Ambulance operations, Overflights, Ferry flights

Permit Requirements

Permit requirements vary by operation and authority. Early submission helps allow time for document review, authority processing and any operational amendments. Our role is to collect the required information, coordinate the application process, follow up on status and keep the operator informed of requirements or changes.
