E&F manages the
collection and settlement of aviation charges between airlines/operators and
aviation service providers such as Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs), airports

documents and issues invoices to airlines, including a detailed breakdown of
the charges associated with the services provided.

Settlement, and support the accounting and settlement activities for the
E&F operations, ensuring transactions are processed accurately and within
established timelines.
