There are some private airports which have towers that can give or deny
permission to land at the pilot's discretion. Downsview airport in
Toronto (Bombardier facility and military base) has a tower (in the
physical sense) with an operator that replies "cleared to land at your
discretion" if you're welcome. But it isn't a clearance in the ATC sense
of the word.


There is at least one privately owned airport that has a tower that can
issue genuine landing and takeoff clearances. Airborne Airpark near
Wilmington Ohio is owned by DHL.
