Taxes, Fees and Charges

Air Transportation Charges

Navigation, Fuel and Insurance Surcharge (NFI): This surcharge is collected to cover the navigation fees that Air Borealis pays to NAV Canada, partially offset the volatility of fuel prices, and partially offset the cost of aviation insurance. The Navigation, Fuel and Insurance surcharge is $70 plus tax per one-way ticket, excluding Intra-Coastal flight routings. Tickets on Air Borealis also have a fuel surcharge which is $5 plus tax per one-way ticket on Intra-Coastal flight routings and $30 plus tax per one-way ticket to/from Goose Bay flight routings.
