What is air cess?

Air cess is a tax or fee levied on the use of airspace by aircraft. It is charged by the regulatory authorities in various countries and is used to finance the maintenance and development of the air traffic control system, safety and security measures, and related services. The amount of air cess varies by the size and type of aircraft, the distance flown, and the route taken. Air cess is usually included in the ticket price when purchasing air travel and can also be paid separately by private aircraft owners or operators. The revenue generated from air cess is used to ensure the safe and efficient movement of aircraft and passengers in the airspace.
