ATNS has released details of its new fee structure. To summarise the
structure provides for an Aerodrome fee for departing from an ACSA
airport, a TMA fee for every TMA that you fly in or through and an Area
fee which is based on the distance you fly. Each fee is based mainly on
the weight of the aircraft.
Aircraft below 1200kg are exempt except for flying in the CT, Dbn and
Jhb TMAs.
The fees are enormous. For example the fee for a single flight from PE
via BLV to Lanseria in an aircraft weighing 1725kg (a C210) will be
R365.90. This compared to the annual fee of R305 under the old system.
