Wealth is like climb gradient: there is the gross and there is the net.
And I am not so sure his net is so high.

@ MCP SPD...
"sound a bit like Chambery..."
At least French authorities did not charge 32,000 Euro (or equivalent in Francs back then) for a landing fee.
Also considering Chambery is in a bowl, certain delays were to be expected.

The news gets even better out of Sochi....
VIP or presidential terminal wants cash (4,500 RUB / per pax) for your guests and they do accept €€ or $$ if they have to. Check with your handling agent if they can pay for you, because they are complicated to deal with, yet friendly.
ATC is actually working very smoothly. They probably have borrowed some personnel in Moscow or St. Pete... Let's wait and see if it stays like this.
The tower controller seemed to be local though and if he advises you of something and you don't understand what on earth he's trying to say, he's probably trying to point out the balloon to the right hand side of the final track of runway 02.
Also, the autotune feature of our avionics suite (EASy) didn't work on 02's LLZ, so we had to manually set everything.
Customs are taking their time and you won't have to accompany them - they'll pick up your documents and bring them back to the aircraft in time, insh'allah.

Posted Feb 6 2014 (from AIN online).
In the past couple of weeks, some U.S. business jet operators had expressed concern about what they understood to be landing/handling fees of 1.5 million rubles ($43,000) for each business jet arriving at Sochi, but a spokesman for handling agent Universal Weather & Aviation told AIN today that the official Notam for Sochi operations suggests this figure is in fact a fine/penalty for any business aircraft that misses its slot reservation time by more than 30 minutes.

We dropped and picked up and as of now we did not get the extra charges. While our pax where waiting in the VIP building, they tried to make them go to terminal 3, but we asked our handler to make sure they stayed in the lounge. Our passengers where told that they had not paid the landing fees ( as we were not able to have acces to the lounge) and that payment was required. As well, they told them that we were not even scheduled to come in that day, and that we were not even on the ramp, but our passenger had a clear view of us and the plane! We showed proof of payment to the handler and he took care of everything. If you have all your papers in order, it makes thing a lot easier.
We dropped off only and departed ASAP. Make sure you got 7(!!) copies of your GenDec: 3 for the inbound flight, 4 for the outbound flight. Immigration officers took almost 40 minutes to complete the immigration and emigration process (what for? we were in transit only!). Our handling agent was very helpful!

estimate costs???
any one know what to expect???
is it just the normal rates (3000-5000euros per landing) and on top of that the fines (43K USD) if you violate the slot times?
i am so confused
thanks, imri

we did not get any surprises, although they did try, but we had all our payment papers..as for the fines, well....just tell your passengers to be there at the time you want them to be there otherwise fines may be charged. Over all, it was smooth.

You would have to make an entry in the tech log that would deem the aircraft unserviceable. The airport would check the records so as to prove the delay was valid. Would you make a false entry into a tech log ?
