Reports on airport fees in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have raised a question for international travellers. In November 2026, Le Point CD cited US$55 for the international Go Pass and US$30 under a separate airport security agreement.
What matters for a traveller is whether the airline has already included a security charge in the fare or is billing it separately.
What Go Pass pays for
A Congolese government budget report describes Go Pass as an airport infrastructure development charge linked to the Régie des voies aériennes (RVA), the country’s airports and air navigation authority. The report lists airport modernisation and new air navigation equipment among its purposes. The applicable amount depends on the route and the tariff in force when the passenger travels.
What the contract reports say
In November 2025, Radio Okapi and Actualité.cd reported that an agreement between the Congolese government and US company Securiport LLC provided for a US$30 charge per passenger on international commercial flights, on arrival and departure.
Le Point CD reported that airlines would collect the charge and transfer the proceeds to a joint account, with 85 per cent allocated to Securiport and 15 per cent to the state. The report does not establish how much has been collected or transferred.
