Unit rates and tariffs

The unit rates and tariffs of en route and terminal charges are established by each EUROCONTROL Member State.

Information circulars contain the applicable unit rate, the description of exemptions, VAT and other particulars, the conditions of payment and other practical information.

Each EUROCONTROL Member State establishes the unit rate of en route charges (basic unit rate) for the airspace falling in its responsibility. In November of each year, the enlarged Commission approves the basic unit rates for the following year.

Basic unit rates are adjusted every month if the national currency of a Member State is not the euro. The monthly unit rate is recalculated by applying an exchange rate between the euro and the national currency. This exchange rate is the average of the “Closing Cross Rate” calculated by Reuters based on the daily BID rate, for the preceding month.

These monthly adjusted unit rates are presented in two versions below :
