CTR transit charge
At Galway airport in Ireland, the airport charge a -navigation- fee to aircraft (incl. private vfr) that transit the Galway CTR. Does this happen in any other eurocontrol member state? Is it legal?

Certainly doesn't happen in the UK, and never heard of it anywhere else. As for legality, wouldn't like to say as it doesn't strictly come under the Eurocontrol banner - where VFR flights and aircraft less than 2000kg are exempt.
Have you thought of getting in touch with Irish AOPA about this?

Galway Charges for Air
What was the MTOW of the aircraft were you in?
Maybe they were trying to justify it under the euronav charging scheme?
Sounds unusual to me.
Got to pay for the guiness somehow though I suppose.

The charge for transiting the zone is 6 euro each way. The aircraft mass was 1 tonne. There is no charge if you land at the airport but the landing fee is 23 euro per tonne.
The zone extends 10 nm around the airport from sfc to 4000 feet. There is no radar at the airport.
The tower pass the reg to the billing guys and they send the bill to the aircraft owner
The Irish branch of AOPA are dead and buried. There is a new organisation called NASRAv in Ireland. I am on the committee and I am looking into this charge at the request of some of the members
