Here is a little background to the fees at a 'certain London Airport' with a short runway, the only way to keep the Airport open to Business Aviation is to charge Airline fees for everything and justify the use of the space, if the handler were not profitable then the business case for building new stands over the dock at £30 million for the Airlines could not be made and the concrete used for BIZ AV would become Airline stands (agreed this would be post credit crunch)
And before you ask no I dont work for the AIrport!
Just think of the big picture a little.
