How do I choose a Point of Entry (MFIR) on a Cuba overflight permit request form?
Havana ATC requires all air traffic flying over three Cuba air corridors to have overflight permits on file to flow across Cuba airspace. 1. Giron, the western air corridor 2. Avila, the central air corridor 3. Nueva, the eastern air corridor 4. Undecided, if you aren’t sure yet which air corridor to choose. International Handlers is authorized and designated by IACC to issue Cuban overflight permits. The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States Department of the Treasury permits United States-based airlines to make overflight payments to the Institute of Civil Aeronautics (IACC) of the Republic of Cuba. Such payments total approximately US$6 million annually and are paid by United States-based airlines including Houston, Texas-based Continental Airlines, Dallas/Fort Worth Airport, Texas-based American Airlines, and Elk Grove Township, Illinois-based United Airlines, among others. International Handlers is authorized and contracted by the Institute of Civil Aeronaut
