There are certain things that aircraft operators need to keep in mind when planning for their flight to Nigeria
· Operational processes require permission from both civilian and military authorities
· Initial arrivals and final departure from Nigeria must be from an international airport. We would suggest Lagos (DNMM/LOS), Abuja (DNAA/ABV), Port Harcourt (DNPO/PHC), and Kano (DNKN/KAN) to be the preferred choice for it.
· Gen Decs are required on arrival and at departure.
· Yellow fever vaccination is required in Port Harcourt (DNPO/PHC)
Our operations expert is available 24/7 to answer all the queries you have regarding flight planning and flight management to Nigeria.
Nigeria has a list of reputed aviation fuel suppliers including CleanServe, ConOil, Oando, So Aviation, MRS OIL , Ascon Oil Company and Total. But credit facility is not provided to aircraft operators without a prior contract with them. Payment must be either in cash before departure, or by an accepted fuel release from a reliable contract fuel reseller. Credit cards are not accepted to pay for aviation fuel. Nigeria has seen an aviation fuel shortage a few years ago, thus we suggest booking it well in advance. Also, when operating domestically, a tax will be levied on the aviation fuel.
Keeping all the factors in mind, from the mode of payment to the possibility of fuel shortage, iJET has contracts with all the major jet fuel suppliers in Nigeria, to provide Cost efficient aviation fuel services to aircraft operators worldwide. For your convenience and flexibility, we offer aviation fuel services at credit facility system. We would love to hear from you to discuss how we can take care of all your aviation fuel requirements in Nigeria.
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.
