Dear All,
Last night we received a notice from URSS that the airport authorities have implemented a new “landing surcharge” for all business jets under 52 tons.
The surcharge is 1,500,000.00 RUB , approximately 32,000.00 EUR (yes, you see it right: thirty-two thousand EUR).
This notice was sent to the 3 contracted handling companies at URSS, and all 3 companies are right now fighting with the airport to reverse these fees, as it is purely unacceptable.
As of today, the above fee is valid, if anything changes we will immediately let you know.
We assume that the airport at the end will reduce this fee, but still be expecting a super high landing fee in Sochi.
I hope I come back with some good news soon.
