Your hosting unit

Within the Directorate Central Route Charges Office and Finance, one of the CRCO's core tasks is the accurate and timely billing of air navigation charges, and to this end we collect, maintain and process all data required to bill these promptly and correctly.

In the CRCO Billing area, we have the following main areas of responsibility:

Permanent data management
We collect and manage all other data required for billing, typically the fleet declarations by airspace users, including the maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of aircraft and addresses. 

Stakeholder Liaison
For operational purposes, the CRCO interacts with Member States, ANSPs, the Network Manager, airlines and other aircraft operators.

Process and procedure optimisation
To optimise billing, we regularly review operational processes to identify new functional requirements and actively contribute to IT development through to final software testing.

Roles and responsibilities

The primary purpose of this inbound secondment within the CRCO Billing team is to contribute to the ongoing provision of efficient and accurate billing systems, ensuring high-quality services to customers and stakeholders through reliable data management, effective reporting, and strong customer relations (covering en-route charges, terminal charges, and VAT billing).

The main objective of the job is to participate in the work of the team and ensure the daily activities in the following billing area of responsibility:

  • Analysis and processing of flight messages received from RCO’s.
  • Analysis and processing of NM flight plan data.
  • Maintenance/update of the permanent data files on users (e.g. fleets and weight factors).
  • Coordination and verification of information received with RCO’s and Users, as required.
  • Any other ad hoc task related to the billing and customer relation activity.

Inbound secondments at EUROCONTROL are aligned with the Agency’s business objectives and strategic priorities. These secondments foster collaboration with key partner organisations, such as national Route Charges Offices, ensuring mutual benefits through the exchange of skills, knowledge, and expertise. This strategic initiative aims to create long-term value for both the secondee, his/her employer and the CRCO team.
