This guide covers landing and overflight permits together, because for most movements they are arranged in the same request with the same authority. Tell operations which you need and the desk handles both.
Current requirements
Landing and overflight requirements for Singapore change with the operation, the aircraft and the route. Our 24/7 operations desk confirms the current requirement and lead time against the issuing authority for your movement.
Operational detail confirmed for your movementBefore you file
An operational value is published here only once it is confirmed against a current official source. The details below for Singapore are not at that standard today, so our 24/7 operations desk confirms them with the authority for your aircraft, route and dates before you plan on them.
