- Foreign Operator Permit & Temporary Aircraft Authorisation (SACAA) in South Africa
Foreign-registered aircraft may not fly commercial or many non-scheduled operations in South African airspace without a Foreign Operator's Permit (FOP) from the South African Civil Aviation Authority (SACAA). Ad hoc charters, aerial work and ferry flights all need this approval before wheels-up.
View requirements - Temporary Vessel Operating Permit
Vessels operating in South African waters must be registered, surveyed and certificated through the South African Maritime Safety Authority (SAMSA). Short-term and visiting operations use temporary certificates, local general authorities and permission for foreign-flagged vessels.
