As far as I have been informed, the largest area of increased charge proposals is on AOC's. It seems BA (and others?) think their AOC charges exceed what it costs the CAA to service, and lesser AOC operators are perceived as not paying enough - by over £4 million a year.

Alleged undercharging by CAA on other aspects of GA has not been quantified in the papers I have seen (but the data may exist somewhere).
