bagthrower you seem to have no idea.
If under 20k MTOW, no need to use terminals.
Eg. at BNE if using terminals then it costs around $11/passenger departing & around $10/passenger arriving that's $21/passenger. If similar at airport at other end, that's $42/passenger just to use the airport terminal, which is why alternative terminals are popping up.
Alliance Airlines has there own terminal at BNE for FIFO where none of these charges apply & could be used if under 20k MTOW.
If at an airport that doesn't existing security, eg, Bankstown, then equipment has to be sourced & workers found on minimum number of hours. Huge costs !!!
