Do You Need a Grenada Overflight Permit?
Grenada flight requirements are category-specific rather than one universal overflight-permit rule. Grenada participates in the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority regulatory system, while State-level aviation, air-transport, ATC, airport and border-control requirements also apply. Private, commercial, landing and special-purpose operations should be checked under the procedure applicable to that flight.
