Permits and clearances, secured before you fly
Overflight rights, landing permits, diplomatic clearances and customs coordination — all managed by Sheba on behalf of our airline partners in Ethiopia.
Overview
The paperwork, handled properly
Every flight into, out of, or through Ethiopian airspace needs the right permits in place — overflight rights, landing permits, and in some cases diplomatic clearance. Sheba Aviation manages this process on behalf of our airline partners, filing with the right authorities and tracking approvals through to confirmation.
We also coordinate immigration and customs matters connected to a flight, so crew and passengers move through Ethiopian airports without unnecessary delay.
- Overflight and landing permits filed with Ethiopian authorities
- Diplomatic clearance coordination where required
- Immigration and customs liaison for crew and passengers
