C.4.2 – What are the fees applicable to MOA and MTOA?
Regulation (EU) 2025/2347 is applicable from 1 January 2026.
MOA
The fees for MOA are outlined in Table 11 of the Annex – Part I to (EU) 2025/2347.
The fee due is the sum of the following two elements:
- a flat fee based on the number of staff
- a flat fee based on the (highest) technical rating
- For initial organisation approval, the staff related fee applies and includes the first facility and the first training course. Second and subsequent facilities and courses are charged separately.
- For already approved organisations applying for additional facilities or training courses, each facility or training course will be charged the applicable fee.
The MOA approval fee is due per application. The MOA surveillance fee is due every 12 months from MOA issuance.
For an MOA that holds several A and/or B ratings, only the highest rating will be charged. For organisations that hold one or several C and/or D ratings, every rating will be charged the ‘C/D rating’ fee.
MTOA
The fees for MTOA are outlined in Table 12 of the Annex – Part I to (EU) 2025/2347.
The MTOA approval fee is due per application. The MTOA surveillance fee is due every 12 months from MOA issuance. It consists of the staff related surveillance fee plus the fee for each second and subsequent location.
C.4.6 - Do I have to pay fees for each MTOA facility?
Approval fee: One facility is included in the organisation approval fee. Additional approval fees are charged for the second and each subsequent facility (added with the initial application or at a later stage).
Surveillance fee: One facility is included in the annual organisation surveillance fee. Additional surveillance fees are charged for the second and each subsequent facility. For facilities approved after the initial organisation approval, the surveillance fee will be adapted as of the next fee cycle following the approval of the change.
Temporary sites, as detailed in the MOE, are not subject to fees.

C.4.3 – Is the approval fee time-limited?
The approval fee is not time-limited, it covers the initial process up to approval of the organisation, facility and/or training course. For the continued validity of the organisation and/or facility approval, following issuance of the approval, the applicant is charged an annual surveillance fee.
Refer to C.4.2 – What are the fees applicable to MOA and MTOA?
C.4.4 – How do I calculate the total number of staff?
MOA
The calculation must consider all staff employed by the organisation to comply with EASA Part-145. This number should include (but is not limited to) the nominated persons in accordance with Part-145.A.30 a & b, post-holders, managers, supervisors, certifying staff, technicians and mechanics for aircraft, engines and components, NDT personnel, technical support personnel such as planners, engineers, technical record staff, librarians, quality control/assurance staff, specialised services staff, training staff, store department staff, purchasing department staff, contract staff in the above categories. Some of these staff are not considered as technical staff but shall be included in the total number of staff.
MTOA
The calculation must consider all staff employed by the organisation to comply with EASA Part-147. This number should include (but is not limited to) the nominated persons in accordance with Part 147.A.105 a, b & c, managers, quality assurance staff, trainers, examiners, practical assessors, instructors, contract staff in the above categories.
C.4.5 – What are the fees due if an MOA has multiple ratings?
If the MOA has multiple A and/or B ratings, only the highest fee (A or B) will be charged.
Example: An MOA with ratings A1, A2, A3, A4 and B1, B2, B3 will be charged rating A1.
An MOA with ratings B1, B2, B3 will be charged rating B1.
An MOA holding several C and/or D ratings will be charged the ‘C/D rating’ fee for each rating within that category (i.e. ‘C/D rating’ fee multiplied by the number of C/D ratings held).
