Summary
This memorandum from the United States Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) details the final Fiscal Year 2026 (FY26) uniform rates and rules for international service, identified by solicitation number HTC711-24-R-CC01.
The memorandum outlines the finalized rates effective October 1, 2025, which are based on a fuel price of $2.63 per gallon for passenger services and $2.84 for cargo and combi services. Key updates include a FICA escalation set at 6.80% and a general escalation of 0.79%, along with recalculations of Eurocontrol surcharges based on FY23 and FY24 mission data.
Significant revisions to the rules include updates to ferry language, incremental movement definitions, and adjustments to live route segments due to enhanced aircraft capabilities.
The document specifies rates for various classes of service:
- Large class passenger rates at $0.15904 per seat mile
- Medium class at $0.22935
- Small class at $0.17707 with a stop charge of $2,000
- Large class cargo at $0.52036
- Medium class cargo at $0.58083
- Combi services at $54.61 per mile
Additionally, it introduces a request for equitable adjustments (REA) process regarding EU/UK emissions taxes and outlines the conditions under which stop charges apply primarily to small passenger classes due to operational inefficiencies.
The memorandum also includes appendices that detail procedures for applying the uniform rates, carrier participation in various rate classes, cost escalations, and specific calculations related to Eurocontrol surcharges. It emphasizes that carriers must submit cost data if they account for five percent or more of USTRANSCOM charter business and highlights ongoing monitoring of emissions tax impacts for potential future inclusion in the URR framework.
