INTRODUCTION

The Public Business Entity ENAIRE was created throu-


gh Article 82 of Law 4/1990, 29th of June, on the State
General Budget, changing its name in July 2014 from the
previously named Aena, Aeropuertos Españoles y Nave-
gación Aérea.

ENAIRE as continuation of Aena, is governed by its


Statute, approved by Royal Decree 905/1991, of June
14th, which was subsequently amended by Royal Decree
1993/1996, of September 6th, Royal Decree 1711/1997, of
November 14th and Royal Decree 2825/1998 of December
23rd and Royal Decree 105/2011 of January 28th.

ENAIRE is a Public Business Entity attached to the Minis-


try of Public Works with its own legally independent sta-
tus and independent from that of the State, developing
its activity within the framework of the general transport
policy of the Government.

Royal Decree 13/2010, of December 3rd, on fiscal, labour


and liberalization measures to foment Investment and
the creation of employment, introduced a number of me-
asures in order to undertake a significant modernization
process, aimed at the separation of functions between
airport management and air navigation provision in Spain
with the objective of improving the efficiency and effecti-
veness of the airport system. Until then, these functions
had been performed by the same Public Business Entity,
Aena.

On the 25th February, 2011 the creation of the State


mercantile society “Aena Aeropuertos, SA” was approved,
and it is currently named Aena SA since July 2014. This
Company has assumed the functions and obligations
related to the management and operation of the airport
premises, while ENAIRE assumes its state competencies
mainly in the field of air navigation within the framework
established by Law 9/2010 of April 14th.

by Royal Decree 1993/1996 of the 6th of September,

Royal Decree 2825/1998 of the 23rd of December and

CHARGES FOR THE USE
OF AIR NAVIGATION FACILITIES
AND SERVICES

3.1 Route Charge

Spain is a member of the EUROCONTROL route charge


system, and so billing and collection of the same are
entrusted to this Organization.

Definition

This is the payment for the costs incurred by the


en-route air navigation facilities and services.

Charge calculation
(from 1 January 2020)

The formula for the charge levied is:

ri = t x N

Where:

ri is the total charge

t, the Spanish unit rate of the charge (in euros),

N the number of service units ( N = di x p, where di is the


distance factor (great circle distance in kilometers / 100
)), and p is the weight factor (( Maximun take-off weight,
MTOW, in metric tons / 50 ) 0,5 )

9
Amounts

Unit Rate (€)


(taxes excluded)
Continental 51,08
Canary Islands 43,73

Exemptions

The following types of flight are exempted from route


charges:

Flights by aircraft whose certificated maximum


take-off weight does not exceed two metric tons,
as stated on the Aircraft Flight Manual.

Flights performed exclusively under visual flight


rules (VFR) within the Flight Information Regions
of the airspace dependent on the Spanish State.

Flights terminating at the aerodrome from which


the aircraft has taken off and during which no
intermediate landing has been made (circular
flights).

Authorized search and rescue flights by a


competent SAR body.

Flights performed exclusively for the purpose


of checking or testing equipment used or
intended to be used as air navigation ground
aids, excluding positioning flights by the aircraft
concerned.

Training flights performed exclusively for the
purpose of obtaining a license, or a rating in
the case of cockpit flight crew, where this is
substantiated by an appropriate remark on the
flight plan.

Flights performed exclusively for the transport,


on official mission, of the reigning Monarch and
his/her immediate family, Heads of State and of
Government, and Government Ministers. These

3.2 Terminal navigation charge

Definition

The terminal navigation charge remunerates the air


navigation services provider to ensure the safety and
orderly flow of movements at this phase of flight.

The terminal navigation charge is applicable to all


airports and air bases open to civil traffic where
ENAIRE provides terminal air navigation services.
The approach and take-off operations are considered
as a single service with regard to this charge.

The European Union regulations related to the Single


European Sky initiative require the formula to be the
same for all EU member states as of 2015.

Charge calculation

The formula for the charge levied is:

R = t x (P/50) n

Where:

R = Total charge to pay per operation

t = Unit rate

P = Autorized maximum take-off weight of the aircraft


(MTOW)

(P/50)n = Service units

n = Weighting coefficient: 0,7
