Do You Need a Indonesia Overflight Permit?
Indonesia regulates applicable foreign-aircraft operations through DGCA Flight Approval and foreign-aircraft authorization procedures. The current legal framework includes PR-DJPU 04 of 2025 on Flight Approval and active rules for foreign-aircraft operations. Operators should confirm the exact approval required for the aircraft, route, traffic rights, purpose and whether the flight is pure overflight, landing, charter, State or another special operation.
Indonesia Overflight Permit Requirements
To process an Indonesia overflight or landing permit, operators should normally provide the following details:

Overflight Charges and Navigation Fees
Indonesia overflight charges and navigation fees may depend on aircraft type, maximum take-off weight, route, nature of operation and whether the aircraft is only overflying or also landing in Indonesia.
Where landing is involved, operators should also consider airport charges, parking, ground handling, fuel uplift, supervision and any additional airport service charges requested for the operation.
Aviation Regulations in Indonesia
Aviation regulations in Indonesia are designed to ensure the safety, security and efficient operation of the aviation sector. These regulations are overseen by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) under the Ministry of Transportation.
The regulatory framework includes the Civil Aviation Act, Civil Aviation Safety Regulations, airport regulations, airworthiness requirements, flight operations, licensing, certification, airport operations and air traffic services.
- Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) oversight
- Compliance with ICAO standards and recommended practices
- Airport and air traffic management requirements
- Flight plan submission and ATS coordination procedures
Indonesia AIP Flight Plan Addressing
Filed FPL messages and associated update messages relating to traffic into or via Jakarta FIR and Ujung Pandang FIR should be addressed correctly to ensure proper relay and delivery.
| Category of Flight | Route | Message Address |
|---|---|---|
| All Flights (IFR/VFR) | Into or via Jakarta FIR | WIIIZQZX |
| All Flights (IFR/VFR) | Into or via Ujung Pandang FIR | WAAAZQZX |
| All Flights (IFR/VFR) | Destination and alternate aerodrome | Aerodrome location indicator + ZPZ + X |
| ATS / Associated Messages | FPL Center | WRRRZEZX |
Unlawful Interference Procedures
Air traffic services personnel should be prepared to recognize any indication of unlawful interference with an aircraft. Whenever unlawful interference is suspected, and where automatic display of SSR Mode A code 7500 and 7700 is not provided, the radar controller may attempt to verify the suspicion using SSR decoder modes.
An aircraft equipped with an SSR transponder is expected to operate the transponder on Mode A code 7500 to specifically indicate that it is subject to unlawful interference. The aircraft may operate on Mode A code 7700 if it is threatened by grave and imminent danger and requires immediate assistance.
- Transmit information relevant to the safe conduct of the flight
- Monitor and plot the progress of the flight with available means
- Coordinate transfer of control with adjacent ATS units
- Notify the operator, rescue coordination center and designated security authority
- Relay appropriate messages between the aircraft and designated authorities
Bomb Threat and Isolated Parking Procedures
If a threat is received indicating that a bomb or other explosive device has been placed on board a known aircraft, the ATS unit receiving the threat should advise the flight crew without delay if in direct communication with the aircraft. If not in direct communication, the flight crew should be advised through other ATS units or other available channels.
Aircraft known or believed to be subject to unlawful interference, or otherwise requiring isolation from normal aerodrome activities, should be cleared to the designated isolated parking position where available. Taxi routing should minimize security risks to the public, other aircraft and installations.
Classification of Airspace
The source Indonesia AIP section lists ICAO-style airspace classes from A to G. Operators should ensure flight rules, ATC service expectations and separation requirements are understood for the applicable airspace.
| Class | General Description |
|---|---|
| A | IFR flights only; all flights receive ATC service and are separated from each other. |
| B | IFR and VFR flights permitted; all flights receive ATC service and separation. |
| C | IFR and VFR permitted; IFR separated from IFR and VFR; VFR separated from IFR and receives traffic information. |
| D | IFR and VFR permitted; IFR separated from IFR and receives VFR traffic information; VFR receives traffic information. |
| E | IFR and VFR permitted; IFR receives ATC service and separation from IFR; traffic information as far as practical. |
| F | IFR and VFR permitted; participating IFR flights receive advisory service and flight information if requested. |
| G | IFR and VFR permitted; flight information service available if requested. |
Operational Restrictions and Special Approvals
