AIRPORTSTAR - AeroBill
The accurate recording and billing of aeronautical fees is a complex task for airports.
It includes multiple steps which all have to be executed with utmost precision in order to
make sure the airport operator is paid properly for the supply of all services and infrastructure to airlines.
First of all, a public tariff has to be defined. This not only includes standard fees and charges, but also
price influencing factors like, for example, time of operations (e.g. surcharges for night operations or
bank holidays), MTOW or aircraft types and many more. Often special contracts with airlines have to be negotiated.
In a next step, the actual charges for actual aeronautical operations have to be calculated.
Here, additional charges might accrue for a flight, which also have to be recorded and taken into account.
Finally, the invoices must be generated and sent to airline customers.
Complete Package: From Airport Fees and Charges up to the Invoicing
AIRPORTSTAR-AEROBILL offers a streamlined, integrated solution featuring powerful tools for all necessary steps.
Starting with a comprehensive software module for the management of freely-definable airport fees and charges,
a detailed published tariff can be created. This also includes the definition of any price-influencing parameters.
Based on this, a contract management module allows the design of contracts of any level of detail.
General price lists, airline-specific agreements or even flight-specific contracts can be prepared,
including any desired price adaptations. All contracts are stored electronically and can be printed out
ready-to-sign on customisable templates.
In co-operation with a flight scheduling software (e.g. AIRPORTSTAR-FLIGHTOPS),
actual flight data is used to automatically determine the appropriate contract for each individual flight.
The combination of flight and contractual fees is made available in a recording module.
Here all charges can be checked and edited if necessary, and additional fees resulting from
extra services can be recorded.
Revenue Accounting and Invoice Generation
Once all required data has been recorded, the price calculation can be performed with a single mouse-click.
Here one of the great advantages of AIRPORTSTAR-AEROBILL comes into play: all applicable price-influencing
factors resulting from both contract and actual flight data are taken into account automatically.
After the calculation, the invoicing can be done for both cash-paying and credit customers.
Invoices can be created for freely-definable periods of time, specific customers or fees etc.
Billing documents can either be printed out or sent to your customers electronically.
Also included in the optional features is the automated export of billing data to an
attached financial accounting system (e.g. SAP, Oracle Finance).
