 SCHEDULE B

CHARGES FOR AIR NAVIGATION SERVICES OFFERED BY KENYA CIVIL AVIATION

AUTHORITY
1.0 Charges

Class 1 aerodromes include: JKIA, Moi and Eldoret; Class 2 include Malindi, Kisumu, Wilson, Wajir
and Lokichoggio and Class 3 include Garissa, Kitale and Lamu.

1.2 There shall be paid to the Authority en route charges by the owner of an aircraft making a flight in
the Flight Information Region based on the following parameters.
(a) Distance flown;
(b) The Maximum Take- Off Mass;
(c) The unit rate;

1.3 Except where otherwise indicated, the formula to be applied for the purposes of charging air
navigation services is as follows:

C= P x D x √ (MTOM/50)

Where;
C= the charge to be paid by the owner
P=Unit Rate
D= Distance flown
MTOM = Maximum Take Off Mass
Average Mass Factor (AMF) = √ (MTOM/50)
Traffic Units = AMF x D

1.4 For the purposes of charging the Average Mass Factor is based on mid-point of each category of
mass classification and is taken as the representative mass for that category.

1.5 The distance flown means the length of the points described below in kilometers

(a) Point of departure in the Kenya Flight Information Region and point of landing in the Kenya
Flight Information Region;

(b) Point of entry into the Kenya Flight Information Region and point of landing in Kenya for
international flights;

20
 (c) Point of departure in Kenya and point of exit from the Kenya Flight Information Region;

(d) Point of entry into the Kenya Flight Information Region and point of exit from the Kenya Flight
Information Region;

(e) Point of departure in Kenya and point of landing in Kenya.

The applicable distance for charging has the following limits

(a) A maximum distance of 500 km for international traffic and 300 km for domestic traffic will be
applied.

(b) A minimum distance of 300 km for international traffic and 100 km for domestic traffic will be
applied.

1.6 Interpretations (Unit Rate)

(a) “Unit rate” represented by P means the amount to be applied for each user category as
determined by dividing the total estimated route facility costs to be recovered from each user
category for the period concerned by the estimated total of all traffic units produced by the user
category.

(b) The parameter P is derived by dividing the proposed recovery level of costs (CL) with the traffic
units. The traffic units is (TU) = D x AMF. This implies that P = CL/TU.

(c) The applicable P is 0.4831 for international traffic.

(d) The applicable, P for domestic and regional traffic to and from the East African Community
members states shall be 0.260.

(e) This implies that the charge (C) is calculated as follows:

C= P X AMF X D

Where AMF is as contained in table below.

D is the applicable Distance
P is the applicable unit rate “P”
