Notes:
1. Teminal charge is based on assumed 70% passenger load factor.
2. It is assumed that all aircraft >5,000 kg MCTOW (except aeromedical aircraft) will utilise the terminal and incur associated charge.
3. Aircraft completing 'touch-and-goes' only will be considered as completing one landing on each occasion of joining the circuit.
4. Aeronautical charges will be invoiced to the registered aircraft owner at the end of the month. There are no onsite payment options available.
5. There are no aircraft parking fees applied at the present time, however, the airport authority reserves the right to introduce these in the future should that be considered appropriate.
