Do You Need an Argentina Overflight Permit?
Yes for the foreign private, general aviation and non-scheduled commercial operations covered by Argentina's current AIP procedure. ANAC requires an overflight permit before these aircraft transit Argentine territory. The request is submitted through AFTN to SABAYAYX and by email to ANAC's published overflight address.

Argentina Overflight Permit Lead Time
ANAC's current AIP procedure requires the overflight request to be submitted at least 72 hours before the flight. The published procedure identifies exceptions to the advance-notice rule for SAR, humanitarian, medical/MEDEVAC and firefighting operations.
Argentina Permit Validity and Schedule Revisions
The ANAC sources reviewed do not support using a universal “+72 hour validity” statement. Treat the authorization as tied to the approved operation and verify material changes to schedule, route, aircraft, FIR entry/exit points, destination or purpose with ANAC before departure.
