In accordance with Executive Order No. 159 dated 23 February 1994, as implemented by Department of Finance and Department of Budget and Management Joint Circular No. 2-94 dated 14 December 1994, directing revision of fees and charges at just and reasonable rates to recover full cost of services rendered, the entire provisions of PART II, Sections 1 to 4 of Department Order No. 94-764 are hereby amended to read as follows:

OPERATIONAL CHARGES

“Sec. 1. Basis — Operational charges for the use of the enroute and airport/terminal navigation facilities and services, as required by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), exclusive of telecommunication services for Class “B” messages of the aeronautical fixed services, shall be based on each arrival, departure or overflight.”

“Sec. 2. Overflight — A charge in U.S. Dollar or its Peso equivalent at the time of payment based on the derived formula for calculating Air Navigation Charges (ANC) which is equal to the distance (D) flown by an aircraft in kilometer divided by one hundred (100) and multiplied by its weight factor (W)

ANC (U.S. $) = D/100 x W

The weight factor (W) was determined to have the following values:

MTOW	Weight Factor (W)
More than 300 tonnes	50
200-300 tonnes	42
100-200 tonnes	33
50-100 tonnes	23

Less than 20 tonnes	9

“Sec. 3. Departing or Arriving International Flight — For each departing or arriving flight at any international airport, a charge in U.S. Dollar or its Peso equivalent at the time of payment as computed based on the derived formula in Sec. 2 of this part.”

“Sec. 4. Domestic and General Aviation Flights — For each flight at any airport in the Philippines, a charge equivalent to one-half (½) of the charge computed based on the derived formula in Sec. 2 of this part.

For purposes of this Section, one flight shall mean from one point of departure to one point of arrival.”
