As ATS services are now mandated through most of the North Atlantic Oceanic airspace, NATS has introduced increased and additional charges for ATS surveillance<\/strong>. These charges are to recover the costs of ADS-B usage in the Shanwick Oceanic ATC coverage area.<\/p>\n

There are 2 different<\/strong> charging zones:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. North Atlantic Crossing<\/strong>\u00a0Zone<\/strong>: comprises the Shanwick FIR\/OCA. Any traffic that touches its boundaries or operates to\/from or through it are to be charged a NAC zone fee UNLESS<\/strong> it is operating solely within separate airspace jurisdictions (i.e. BOTA, NOTA, SOTA, etc.) or operating within the newly designated “Tango Zone” area, which is the second charging zone.<\/li>\n
  2. Tango Zone<\/strong>: a smaller, defined area of airspace within the Southeast corner of the oceanic airspace surrounding ATS routes T9 and T290 (does not include the more westerly Tango Routes T16, T13, and T213 – these fall within the North Atlantic Crossing Zone!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    There are 2 different<\/strong> charges:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. “Core<\/strong>” charge: one standard charge that remains the same in each zone.<\/li>\n
    2. “Data<\/strong>” charge: covers ATS surveillance data usage and changes within each zone reflecting the differing costs of satellite data.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

      If operating through BOTH<\/strong> the Tango and NAC areas, flights will only be charged the NAC area fee.<\/p>\n

      Charges will NOT<\/strong> vary by time, weight or distance flown.<\/p>\n
