Obtaining a Belize overflying and landing permit might be tricky if you don’t use an agent. Belizean CAA hours are Monday to Friday. They are not working during the weekend; therefore, the latest you can apply for a weekend flight is 18:00Z on Friday. They will not be caught in a short-notice situation. American Flight Support is a registered agent with CENAMER, which can help to streamline this process.

Overflying and Landing Permits are required for all types of operations.

Private Flights (part 91) Send:
1. Certificate of Airworthiness
2. Certificate of Registration
3. Pilot’s License and Medical Certificate
4. Third Party Insurance covering Belizean territory
5. Crew and passenger passport details.
