On November 28, 2016 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) increased the rates for enroute and oceanic overflights, which have been static since 2011. The FAA is phasing in this rate increase over three years in equal percentage terms. The current rates for enroute and oceanic overflights are $56.86 and $21.63, respectively. From January 1, 2017 to January 1, 2018 rates will increase to $58.45 and $23.15. On January 1, 2018 to January 1, 2019 rates will be $60.07 for enroute and $24.77 for oceanic, and as of January 1, 2019 rates will be $61.75 and $26.51. Overflight fees are charges for aircraft flights that transit U.S.-controlled airspace, but neither land in nor depart from the United States.
