Our company has been using the AFTN code OSDIUASX originated
in Syria for the past 5 years to communicate with C.A.A around the world to get permits, for overflight & landing and to file flight plans .. etc. with no charge.
Suddenly, Syria C.A.A Decided to charge for A.F.T.N messages and without notice. They started to charge us as from 01 Apr,2005.
1 - Does C.A.A Syria has the right to charge for such service ?
1 - What is the class B message.
2 - What is the class A message.
3 - Is permits request and flight planes are B class or A class ?
