2.  Structure of Air Navigation Service Charges (ANS):

ANS Charges = En Route Charge + Terminal Charge
2.1 

2.2 

Where the value of X is:

  • MTOW = 0 – 100 Ton, X = 50

  • MTOW = 101 – 200 Ton, X = MTOW/2

  • MTOW > 200 Ton, X = 100

Descriptions:

  1. MTOW

    MTOW is the Maximum Take-off Weight of aircraft in ‘metric ton’ as specified by the factory, rounding up fraction to the next whole number. The calculation of ANS charges will be based on MTOW which is provided by AEROTHAI. (see details in https://eservice.aerothai.co.th)

  2. Distance

    Distance is the great circle distance travelled within Bangkok FIR in ‘kilometre’, rounding up fraction to the next whole number. For each landing and take-off within the Bangkok FIR, 50 kilometres are deducted from the great circle distance. If the great circle distance after being deducted for landing/take-off is less than 250 kilometres, it will be calculated as 250 kilometres (Distance Factor = 1). The calculation of ANS charges will be based on a distance factor which is provided by AEROTHAI. (see details in https://eservice.aerothai.co.th)

    • Suvarnabhumi International Airport = 0.90
