Aeronautical Fees

The AvCharge Module is a powerful aeronautical billing utility used to process ATC aircraft movement data. User’s can view, edit and tag aircraft movements with supplemental fees and/or exemptions. The AvCharge Module permits users to process multiple aeronautical charges onto one invoice.

Aeronautical Billing Features

• Importation of electronic ATC aircraft movement files (e.g. NAV CANADA) and direct interfaces with ATC systems (e.g. Frequentis).
• Interfaces with 3rd party airport systems such as AODBs and FIDs.
• Unlimited aeronautical fee structures based on weight, seat, time of day, engine type, sector, operation and wing type for automatic charge calculations.
• Passenger and Loading Bridge Fees
• Parking Fee Automation
• Powerful multiple discounting/exemptions by customer and/or by aircraft
• Automated generation of emails with invoices attached as PDFs

Non-Aeronautical Fees

The ReCharge Module is designed to assist airports to manage the multitude of recurring fees and charges associated with airport operations. These typically include leases, concessions, licenses, utilities, employee parking, hangar rentals, aircraft parking, etc.

Keeping track of the various recurring fees, effective periods, documentation requirements, etc. can be very onerous if not properly managed. The ALFA 2004 ReCharge Module provides a single-source management and invoicing tool for this purpose.

Non-Aeronautical Billing Features

• Minimum amount and gross revenue Concessions
• Sliding scale Concessions
• Utility Recovery (Electricity/Water)
• Detailed Customer Management
• Automated generation of emails with invoices attached as PDFs
• Highly customizable contract / task management tools to track and be reminded of critical contract dates before it is too late.
• Ability to store multiple contract documents and revisions within the system.

Miscellaneous Charges

The Miscellaneous Charge Module is designed to allow airports to capture and invoice basic, single event charges. An example of one of these one-off charges would be the rental of an airport boardroom for several hours for a tenant staff meeting.

The basic information required is an account code, a customer number, an invoice description, and an amount. With this information, ALFA can very quickly generate a one-off invoice.

Statistics

The ALFA database serves as an ideal centreal repository for Aircraft Movement statistics at the airport. Based on the data already being used for billing, standard and custom reports can be generated which can be used to comply with regulatory reporting requirements, track key perfomance indicators and provide insight into operations occuring at your airport.

In addition to aircraft movement data within the AvCharge module, passenger statistics can be tracked by customer, flight no., origin/destination, and aircraft type. This module centralizes passenger volume tracking, and allows for financial reporting normalized by passenger. This module also centralizes the storage of local traffic movements.
