DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION 

Federal Aviation Administration 

Temporary Exclusion of the 

Assessment of Overflight Fees for 

Humanitarian Flights Related to the 

January 12, 2010, Earthquake in Haiti 

AGENCY: Federal Aviation 

Administration (FAA), DOT. 

ACTION: Notice of determination by the 

FAA to exclude the assessment of 

Overflight Fees for humanitarian flights 

in response to the earthquake in Haiti. 

SUMMARY: On January 12, 2010, the 

nation of Haiti was hit by a devastating 

earthquake near the heaviest populated 

part of the country, its capital, Port-auPrince. Within hours, there was a 

significant increase in the volume of air 

traffic in the area as the world 

responded with many types of 

emergency relief and assistance. Since 

the FAA is the International Civil 

Aviation Organization-designated 

provider of air navigation services in 

much of the Caribbean just north of 

Haiti and north and east of the 

Dominican Republic, many of these 

humanitarian flights go through U.S.- 

controlled airspace and incur charges by 

the FAA (known as ‘‘Overflight Fees’’) 

for the air navigation services provided. 

This Notice advises all concerned of the 

determination by the FAA to exclude 

temporarily from its Overflight Fee bills 

any charges for humanitarian flights 

responding to the earthquake in Haiti. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FAA 

bills monthly for air navigation and 

related services provided to certain 

aircraft as set out in 49 CFR part 187. 

The charge for these services, called 

Overflight Fees, is typically billed on or 

about the 10th of each month. The FAA 

has excluded from billing all flights in 

and out of Haiti during January (after 

the date of the earthquake), February 

and March on the presumption that the 

vast majority of such Haitian flights in 

the immediate aftermath of the 

earthquake are humanitarian in nature. 

Beginning with the invoices for the 

month of April, which are expected to 

be issued during the week of May 10– 

14, 2010, the FAA will bill flights to and 

from Haiti in the usual (pre-earthquake) 

manner. Operators of humanitarian 

flights related to the earthquake may 

request reconsideration of charges by 

the process described below. 

The FAA is also aware that there were 

numerous humanitarian flights flown in 

response to the earthquake in and out of 

the Dominican Republic and possibly 

other points in the Caribbean. Since the 

FAA cannot determine by the track of 

such flights whether they were in fact 

humanitarian flights for Haiti, all such 

flights have been billed for Overflight 

Fees that are normally applicable. 

Reconsideration of such fees for Haitian 

humanitarian flights may be requested 

as described below. 

Any entity that has been billed an 

Overflight Fee for a flight that was for 

humanitarian relief related to the 

earthquake in Haiti may request a 

reconsideration of the applicable fee by 

submitting a written statement to the 

FAA identifying the flight in question, 

providing an explanation of the purpose 

of the flight and a certification that the 

sole purpose of the flight was to provide 

aid or relief associated with the 

earthquake. This documentation should 

be provided either by mail to Federal 

Aviation Administration, Attn: Michelle 

Leissner, General Accounting Division 

(AMZ–350), P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma 

City, OK 73125, USA or by e-mail to 9- 

AMC-AMZ-OVERFLIGHT-FEES@

faa.gov. 

The FAA intends to continue this 

process for reconsideration of Overflight 

Fees billed to humanitarian flights 

related to the Haiti earthquake for the 

foreseeable future, but may cease such 

reconsideration at any time. If and when 

such a decision is made, the FAA will 

provide notification with its monthly 

bills.
