NOISE SURCHARGE
2/2008 IATA Airport & En Route Aviation Charges Manual

In order to calculate the landing fee(s) excluding passenger fee, etc, follow the three part process. First calculate the landing fee, next calculate the adjustment to the landing fee and then calculate the noise tax.
LANDING FEE:
* Note: Per AIP France 05 Jul 07, GEN 4.1.1 under Airport Fees, 1.1 Landing Fee - This fee is payable by any aircraft making a landing or water landing at an airport open to the public. It is calculated according to the maximum take off weight indicated on the certificate of airworthiness of the aircraft, rounded off to the next HIGHER ton.
International Landings
MTOW in Tonnes(t)* Fixed Charge + Rate per tonne
Up to 18 tonnes EUR 55.30  
18 to 25 tonnes EUR 55.30 + 3.30 over 18 tonnes
25 to 50 tonnes EUR 78.41 + 4.21 over 25 tonnes
50 to 75 tonnes EUR 183.64 + 4.87 over 50 tonnes
over 75 tonnes EUR 305.39 + 6.86 over 75 tonnes
Domestic Landings
MTOW in Tonnes(t) Fixed Charge + Rate per tonne
Up to 18 tonnes EUR 38.79  
18 to 25 tonnes EUR 38.79 + 2.48 over 18 tonnes
25 to 50 tonnes EUR 56.12 + 4.13 over 25 tonnes
50 to 75 tonnes EUR 159.27 + 4.59 over 50 tonnes
over 75 tonnes EUR 274.00 + 5.91 over 75 tonnes

ADJUSTMENT TO THE LANDING FEE:

Since 1984, the landing fee is adjusted according to the aircraft's acoustic group.

Group 1
1.30
Group 2
1.20
Group 3
1.15
Group 4
1.00
Group 5
0.85

NOISE TAX - click here for the details (revised as of January 1, 2008)
The noise tax is part of the general tax on polluting activities (GTPA).

This charge is in addition to the landing fee which is based on the aircraft's acoustic group.

The formula for the noise tax which is applied to each take-off:

Tax = b x t x log(MTOW)
t= Unit rate: EUR 6.00 (adjusted each year based on the domestic retail price index)
b= Coefficient according to the departure time and to the acoustic group to which the aircraft belongs.
