1.1  ROUTE CHARGES

Route charges are collected for air navigation services provided to an aircraft flying over the controlled airspace in Vilnius flight information region.

The route charge is calculated according to the formula:
R = W x P x D, where

R – the rate of route charges

D – the great circle distance divided by 100

P – the route unit rate P = 60.74 EUR in case it is calculated and collected by EUROCONTROL CRCO, P = 60.64 EUR in case it is calculated and collected by air navigation services provider

W – the mass factor

MTOW – the maximum take-off mass rounded to the nearest number after the decimal point in the usual manner.

The weight factor, expressed as a figure taken to two decimal places, shall be the square root of the quotient obtained by dividing by fifty the number of metric tons in the maximum certificated take-off mass of the aircraft as shown in the certificate of airworthiness or any equivalent official document provided by the aircraft operator. Where this mass is unknown, the mass of the heaviest aircraft of the same type known to exist shall be used. Where an aircraft as multiple certificated maximum take-off masses, the maximum one shall be used. Where an aircraft operator operates two or more aircraft which are different versions of the same type, the average of the maximum take-off masses of all his aircraft of that type shall be used for each aircraft of that type. The calculation of the mass factor per aircraft type and per operator shall be effected at least once a year.

Great circle distance means the shortest distance in kilometres (KM):

• in the event of transit flight, measured from the point of entry into the controlled airspace of the Republic of Lithuania to the point of exit from the controlled airspace of the Republic of Lithuania;
• in the event of aircraft landing, measured from the point of entry into the controlled airspace of the Republic of Lithuania to the small aerodrome circle (with the diameter of 40 KM, i.e. with 20 KM radius around the aerodrome reference point);
• in the event of a flight between two airports of the Republic of Lithuania, measured by the distance between two small aerodrome circles;
• if the exit and entry point of one flight are identical in a charging zone, the distance factor shall be equal to the distance in the great circle distance between these points and the most distant point of the flight plan.

1.2  TERMINAL CHARGE

Terminal charge is collected for air navigation services provided to aircraft landing at airports.

The terminal charge is calculated according to the formula:
T = I x W, where

T – the rate of terminal charges

I – the terminal unit rate I = 289,22 EUR - in the first terminal charging zone CZ1 where services are provided at the international airports of Vilnius (IATA: VNO, ICAO: EYVI), Kaunas (IATA: KUN, ICAO: EYKA) and Palanga (IATA: PLQ, ICAO: EYPA)

I = 798,48 EUR - in the second terminal charging zone CZ2 where services are provided at Siauliai international airport (IATA: SQQ, ICAO: EYSA)

W – the mass factor

MTOW – the maximum take-off mass rounded to the nearest number after the decimal point in the usual manner.
