Bahrain Overflight Permit Regulation and Procedures

If you're an operator of a business jet or a commercial airline with plans to fly over Bahrain airspace, obtaining a Bahrain Overflight Permit from the Bahrain Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is mandatory. As a flight dispatcher, it's important to have a good understanding of the requirements for obtaining this permit, including the fact that the issuing of an overflight permit confirms that there is no political or security objection to your airline, aircraft, or country of origin/destination and that there are no outstanding navigation fees due to the ATC authority.

  1. What are CAA's working hours, including whether they are open on weekends?
  2. Which aircraft documents must be submitted with the overflight request?
  3. Are there any fees charged by the CAA for processing the permit?
  4. What is the official validity period of the overflight permit, as determined by the CAA?
  5. How can the Bahrain air navigation bill be obtained, either through IATA or a local agent?
An overflight permit is a document that authorizes an aircraft to fly over the territory of a certain country. If you're referring to Bahrain, you may need to obtain an overflight permit if you're planning to fly an aircraft over its airspace. The process for obtaining an overflight permit in Bahrain can vary, but typically involves submitting a request to the relevant aviation authority and providing details about the aircraft, flight route, and purpose of the flight. Once the permit is granted, It's important to ensure that you have all the necessary permits and approvals in place before your flight, as failure to do so can result in legal and financial consequences.
