Air Navigation Fees In The Middle East - Part 1

Updated: Sep 7, 2022

In the following section, you can find the applicable ATC and Air Navigation fees applicable for flights through the Middle Eastern Countries. The ICAO Doc 7100, The Tariffs for Airports and Air Navigation Services, lists airport and air navigation services charges (including landing and overflight fees), for each of its member countries. You may check with Sonic Jet dispatch team for most updated information.


Afghanistan


Effective August 1st 2017, the new charge for overflying the Kabul FIR is a flat fee of $700 USD. Previously, the charge was $400 USD. The Afghanistan Civil Aviation Authority (ACAA) has determined the increase was necessary to support the additional costs now that it manages its own ATC. The fee applies to all civil flight operations using the FIR to transit enroute, regardless of aircraft MTOW or flown distance.


International aircraft landing or departing from any Afghan civil airport is charged $150 USD (flat fee regardless aircraft size or MTOW), So there is a total of $300 (for arrival and departure) as ATC fee added to the airport fees invoice.
