Uruguay Overflight Rules | DINACIA & Montevideo FIR SUEO

Do You Need a Uruguay Overflight Permit?

Not every foreign civil aircraft requires a separate Uruguay overflight permit. Uruguay AIP GEN 1.2 applies category-specific rules. Specified foreign civil aircraft registered in non-ICAO States must provide prior notice, while all aircraft entering Uruguayan territory must file a flight plan. Foreign military and State aircraft use a separate PSA authorization process.

Uruguay Overflight Permit Requirements

To process a Uruguay overflight permit, operators should normally provide the following details:

• Aircraft registration and aircraft type
• Operator name and full contact details
• Complete flight schedule with UTC date and time
• Departure airport and destination airport
• Full route including Uruguay FIR entry and exit points
• Purpose of flight and call sign / flight number
• Lead passenger details where applicable
• Consignee and consignor details for cargo flights where applicable

Required Documents for Uruguay Permit Processing

• Certificate of Registration (COR)
• Certificate of Airworthiness (COA)
• Valid aircraft insurance certificate
• Noise certificate where applicable
• Air Operator Certificate (AOC) for commercial operators
• Dangerous goods declaration if applicable

Uruguay Overflight Notice and State-Flight Timing

The reviewed AIP does not establish a universal 48-working-hour civil permit rule. For foreign military and State aircraft, the published PSA process specifies 48 hours' advance notice.

Uruguay Authorization and Schedule Changes

The reviewed AIP does not support a universal +72-hour civil overflight-permit validity statement. Follow the conditions of any applicable authorization or prior-notice process and keep the flight plan aligned with the actual aircraft, route and schedule.

Who Needs Uruguay Flight Clearance Support?

Uruguay flight clearance support is useful for operators crossing Montevideo FIR, operating to or from Uruguay airports, or planning South America routing where multiple permits may be required within a short timeframe.

• Private jet and business aviation operators
• Non-scheduled charter flight operators
• Cargo and air freight operators
• Ambulance, medevac and humanitarian flights
• Ferry, delivery and aircraft positioning flights
• Flights requiring landing, fuel, parking or ground handling in Uruguay

Uruguay FIR SUEO Information

Uruguay airspace operates under Montevideo FIR SUEO. Operators should ensure correct FIR boundary estimates, ATS routing, entry and exit points and flight plan details where applicable.

Carrasco International Airport is identified as SUMU/MVD. SUEO refers to the Flight Information Region, while SUMU refers to Carrasco International Airport.

Uruguay FIR Entry and Exit Points

The following entry and exit points are commonly used for route planning through Uruguay FIR. Operators should verify routing against the latest approved ATS route structure before filing the flight plan.

Overflight Charges and Navigation Fees

Uruguay overflight charges and related navigation fees may depend on the type of aircraft operation, routing, aircraft weight category, authority requirements and whether the flight is only crossing Uruguay FIR or also landing in Uruguay.

Where landing is involved, operators should also consider airport charges, parking, ground handling, fuel uplift, supervision, passenger handling, cargo handling and any additional service charges requested for the operation.

Operational Restrictions and Special Approvals

Certain flight categories may require additional review or longer coordination time. Operators should provide complete information early when the flight involves special cargo, state-related movement, diplomatic clearance, dangerous goods, ambulance operation or unusual routing.

• Military, diplomatic or state flights
• Dangerous goods or special cargo flights
• Ambulance, medevac and humanitarian missions
• Survey, inspection or scientific flights
• Flights with restricted cargo or unusual routing
