MINISTER CREECY PUBLISHED REGULATIONS REGARDING FEES FOR THE PROVISION OF AVIATION METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES
27 JUNE 2023
The Minister of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, Ms. Barbara Creecy, has published the Regulations regarding fees for the provision of aviation meteorological services in terms of the South African Weather Service Act, 2001 (Act No. 8 of 2001), for implementation.
SAWS aviation tariffs are determined through an extensive consultative process which includes stakeholder engagement and participation. The Regulating Committee for Meteorological Services (RCSM), through its mandate, ensures that the tariffs are fair and equitable to SAWS and the aviation industry.
The key stakeholders involved in the determination of aviation tariffs include SAWS, RCSM and the aviation industry represented by the Airline Association of South Africa (AASA), the Board of Airline Representatives of Southern Africa (BARSA) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA).
