This sort of explains why the low cost airlines are doing quite well thank you and the majors aren`t. The flag carriers pay up the going airport fees...the low costs complain and in Stelios`s case grizzle when they have to pay the same as other carriers.
So if the the EasyJet`s, Ryanair`s in the world paid the same fees as the majors would you still be able to offer these fares of £1 etc...?
