    FAQs about Venezuela Flight Support

    How long does it take to get a landing permit in Venezuela?

    Standard lead time is 72 hours (3 business days). However, Flight Access can assist with urgent requests depending on the nature of the flight and documentation readiness.

    Is Jet A-1 fuel readily available in Caracas (SVMI)?

    Yes, supply is generally stable at Maiquetía (SVMI). However, we strongly recommend pre-ordering fuel through Flight Access to guarantee availability and priority service upon arrival.

    Do I need a local sponsor for Venezuelan permits?

    Specific operations may require local representation. Flight Access acts as your local point of contact to satisfy all INAC requirements.

    Is it safe to land and operate in Venezuela currently?

    Yes, provided you have the right support. Security in Venezuela relies heavily on logistics and supervision. Flight Access provides on-site supervision at SVMI and SVMG. Our local Station Manager oversees the aircraft on the ramp, ensuring no unauthorized access. For crew and passengers, we coordinate secure VIP transportation with vetted drivers and armored vehicles upon request, ensuring a safe corridor from the aircraft steps to your hotel or meeting.

    How do we handle fuel payments? Is cash required?

    Absolutely not. We understand the complexities of local currency and payment restrictions. Flight Access offers a Fuel Release facility, allowing operators to pay for Jet A-1 on credit or via wire transfer to our international accounts. You will never need to carry large amounts of cash for fuel or handling fees. We accept major aviation fuel cards and contract fuel arrangements.

    Do crew members need a visa to enter Venezuela?

    Generally, No. For stays of up to 72 hours, crew members listed on the General Declaration (GENDEC) do not require a visa, provided they remain within the airport vicinity or at the designated crew hotel. However, regulations can change. Our ops team verifies the latest immigration requirements for your specific nationality at the time of your trip request.
