Fees & Billing

Whether you're an airline, a tenant operating within the airport, or another business located on our property, we've compiled the resources you need to manage your financial obligations efficiently below.

Vector and Landing Fees

Vector handles the billing and payments for the Landing Fee Program (or “Program”) on behalf of the Airport. The Program assesses a fee based upon an aircraft’s arrival/departure. The fee is not an arrival/a departure related fee. Vector’s system and technologies are able to provide the exact data for the Program. To view the Airport’s authorization for Vector to bill on the Airport’s behalf, please go to our official Authorization to Bill letter.

Landing fees will be charged to all transient aircraft operating at Corpus Christi International Airport in addition to the existing landing fees on commercial aircraft operations already in place. GA and non-signatory commercial landing fees will be assessed upon arrival and billed by Vector Airport Systems at the following rates:

Landing fees are charged to all commercial operations and to any transient aircraft 6,000 pounds and above, MLW.

Aircraft will be charged landing fees as follows:

  • Signatory Rate: $2.93 per 1,000 pounds maximum landed weight
  • Non-Signatory Rate: $3.66 per 1,000 pounds maximum landed weight (6,000 lbs and above)
  • All government, angel flight, and maintenance-only operations will be exempt from landing fees but are subject to Fuel Flowage Fees. Before the scheduled landing, these operations must be submitted to both CCIA (Kimberlym2@cctexas.com) and Vector (datainput@vector-us.com). Failure to submit before landing will result in enforcement of the appropriate fee.

Authorization to Bill Letter
  • Credit Cards Accepted: American Express, Visa, MasterCard, and Discover are accepted. There is a service provider processing fee of 3% of the total amount paid. This surcharge fee goes directly to the 3rd party credit card processor, not to Vector. This surcharge does not exceed the amount charged to Vector by the credit card processor.
  • Vector does not keep credit card information on file and does not accept credit card information via email or fax.
  • While credit card surcharges charged by “merchants”, “retailers”, or “sellers” are not allowed in some states, they are allowed when government and public entities charge them for the collection of taxes or fees (i.e., landing fees). Vector is not a “merchant”, “retailer”, or “seller” but an “agent” of the government entities (i.e., cities, towns, public authorities, et al) that operate the airports for which Vector collects landing fees and other aircraft operating fees. As such, the prohibition on charging credit card surcharges does not apply to the transaction.
  • Checks can be mailed to the remittance address shown in the upper left corner of the Vector invoice and MUST include the Invoice Number or Operator ID. Since Vector handles the billing for multiple airports, please make sure your payment is mailed to the airport payment address shown on the invoice. Vector’s online payment portal allows you to login and view any invoice issued by Vector.
  • ACH/Wire Payments – Please email billing@vector-us.com to get banking details. Remittance information should also be sent to this email address.
