Wrong. Landing fees, handling agent charges, fuel surcharges etc are factored into the cost of the ticket. They're the cost of doing business.

We're talking about airport taxes (if not directly debited to the passenger on departure), security charges and suchlike levied by airports and government bodies.

And I still maintain that if the information is provided at POS, the European Commission should use its time and resources for more important things.

Like drafting regulations for banana curvature or similar
