Aviation Fuel Requirements in Angola
The only jet fuel supplier and into-plane agent in Angola is the government-owned and operated- Sonangol. Sonangol does not accept fuel cards or credit cards, and payment for the fuel is preferred to be done through a reseller who has a prior contract with them.
JET A1 fuel is available in Angola with no shortage recently experienced, but AVGAS is scarcely available.
In April 2015, under an agreement with Sonangol, Best Fly started operating its own dedicated fuel bowser for refueling executive aircraft at its FBO in FNLU. This has ensured faster turn-around time, as into-plane fueling by the FBO ensures better refueling process.

Angola Flight Permits
Every aircraft operator needs to obtain several flight permits before any flight (overflight permits and a landing permit). Overflight permits are necessary to enter, pass, and exit each country across your flight route. While landing permits are permissions to land in a particular airport at the destination country. The process of obtaining overflight and landing permits is complicated. Here comes iJET effective role in facilitating the process and securing flight permits on short notice due to its wide network of relations with the civil aviation authorities in almost every country around the world. iJET also helps aircraft operators to choose the flight route that imposes the minimum overflight fees, as most countries charge fees for processing overflight permits. Those fees are generally non-refundable. Overflight permit fees and landing permit fees are different from one country/airport to another. The required documents for applying to both overflight and landing permits also differ from one country to another. But generally, an aircraft operator is required to provide: the flight number, schedule and purpose of the flight, and aircraft airworthiness certificate, aircraft operator certificate, certificate of registration, insurance certificate, noise certificate, airworthiness review certificate.
