I don't like the extra charge but have to live with it. Just pass on the cost to the punter.
Maybe the punter will not like the charge and not pay it? Then maybe the compnay holding the AOC will go out of business?
Its not like they are flying 747's on full routes to HK three times a day. They are running operations with tight margins and not great economies of scale so these costs are going to be proportionatly much larger.
Why the charge?? I can only imagine that in the real world, this will affect flight saftey as AOC holders try and keep fewer aircraft operating at maximum capacity etc...
