The charges for the air navigation services for aircraft flying en-route and in the terminal area of the Republic of Kazakhstan are collected by Republic State Enterprise on to rights of economic activity “Kazaeronagivatsia” of the Civil Aviation Committee of Ministry of industry and infrastructural development of the Republic of Kazakhstan (RSE “Kazaeronavigatsia”).

1 Legal and postal address:

The charges for the air navigation services (ANS) are collected from all users of the airspace of the Republic of Kazakhstan, regardless of its state ownership, the type of property and subordination.

Tariffs for air navigation services for foreign users of the airspace of the Republic of Kazakhstan operating international flights en-route and in the terminal area:

Charges for air navigation services for aircraft flying en-route within FIRs depend on the maximum take-off weight (MTOW) and distance travelled by aircraft and are calculated by the following formula:
P=Tx(S:100)
Where:
P - amount of charges;
T - rate for 100 km of distance travelled
S – the flight distance is assembled from the segments of AWYs of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the length of which is calculated by orthodromy.
Flight distance on AWY segments is rounded to the whole tens within the FIR of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The calculation of distance for flights executed outside of the AWYs is made by the following formula:
S= V x t
where:
S – flight distance. The distance is rounded to the whole tens within the FIR of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
V – flight execution speed (km/h)
t – flight execution time – flying hours (h).
The rounding of flight distance to the whole tens is made by the following:
Less than 5 km – rounded to the less side,
5 km and more – rounded to the larger side.

When landing at ADs of the Republic of Kazakhstan where air traffic service is provided by the ATS units of RSE “Kazaeronavigatsia” branches, the distance travelled on the route segments to/from the AD is reduced by 20 km for each take-off and landing.

The amount of the charge for air navigation services for aircraft in the terminal area (in the take-off and landing zone) depends on the maximum take-off weight (MTOW) and is calculated by the following formula:
P=TxW
where:
P – amount of charges;
T – rate of charges per 1 ton of maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of an aircraft
W – MTOW in tons to be rounded off to decimals.

For the charging purpose for air navigation services en-route and in the terminal area, the MTOW is rounded to the tenth of a ton in the following order: less than 50 kg - rounded down (to zero), 50 kg or more - rounded up (up to 0.1 ton).

Information about the fleet in operation, including registration marks and MTOW, is required to be submitted by users of the airspace of the Republic of Kazakhstan in advance to the RSE "Kazaeronavigatsia".

MTOW for each type of aircraft is taken into account, in the case the airspace user does not submit a real MTOW for a particular aircraft flying in the airspace of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Tariffs and rates for the air navigation services en-route and in the terminal area of the Republic of Kazakhstan, except for international flights are approved by the authorized state body in the sphere of the natural monopoly.

Payment for the air navigation services is made by transferring to RSE Kazaeronavigatsia bank account the fee in US dollars or tenge (KZT) according to the official exchange rate of National Bank of the Republic of Kazakhstan and fixed on a date of payment.
