This Notice may be cited as the Aviation (Aerodrome Fees) Notice, 1984, and it comes into force on 1 April 1984. This section defines several terms used in the Notice, including domestic flight, international flight, scheduled aerodrome, and weight. Landing charges apply at scheduled aerodromes and are set by aircraft weight, with different rates for fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters, domestic flights, international flights, and certain training flights. A surcharge of 50% of the applicable day landing charge applies to landings or take-offs outside published aerodrome hours, subject to a one-surcharge limit in some cases. A single surcharge applies when an aerodrome is open or kept open outside its published hours to serve as an alternate aerodrome at the operator’s request.
