Costs and fees
How do we charge
Airservices levies charges to aircraft operators that engage our services in the Australian airspace. Our charges may include fees applied or collected on behalf of other Australian government agencies, and may include aviation fire fighting charges at selected aerodromes.


Regulating charges
How we calculate charges
Our charges are regulated by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, and are based on a model of cost-recovery plus a return on our assets. You can find detailed calculations of our different charges in our Standard Terms of Contract.

Pricing update
Airservices Australia has updated the prices that it charges industry for its services, following approval by the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government on 30 June 2025.
The changes were the subject of industry consultation and reviewed by the ACCC. In October 2025, the ACCC issued its final decision not to object to the 6% weighted average price increase.
Airservices deferred implementation to provide support to the aviation sector during the peak holiday period. With the industry now showing strong signs of recovery and improved service delivery, Airservices believes it is appropriate to proceed with the new prices, which will take effect from 1 August 2025.
The cost of providing air traffic management services, aviation rescue fire fighting services and enabling services has increased considerably since the last price rise in 2015.
The increase in prices will enable Airservices to continue to invest in frontline service delivery and key initiatives that enable the aviation industry’s future growth.
