Absolutely shocking. Hope you paid by rubber cheque!

The landing fees are supposed to be standardised across all airports in Namibia. I haven't been to Tsumeb, but recently landed at both Rundu and Ondangwa where I paid either R30 or R35 for landing and navigation fees. I think the difference is between local flights and international flights. Both times I refueled using the airport facilities. That is flying a Eurocopter EC130 with MTOW of 2427kg. There must be some document you can use to prove the correct amount should be a lot less than what you paid.

Tsumeb is a problem in respect of landing fees. Rather stay clear.
