What price landing?

[heavy_landing]

Anyone know the prices charged by different airports to differing operators for handling similar aircraft? . .Do all operators get charged the same? . .I suspect that I know the answer to this, but some real figures would be intereesting.

Some airports charge on a weight basis as well as by type. You could try ringing a few to ask what type X would be charged for a landing fee and then compare and contrast, note that the amount of time the aircraft is parked is also a commercial variable, (somtimes integral in the landing fee) that you will have to ask about. Where it is parked can be a factor too, i.e airbridge, terminal stand, or remote parking. Also the volume of traffic usually is a factor, i.e. bulk discount, bring in lots of flights a week = discount, 1 flight a week = standard fee.

check the web sites for various airports - most list their published fees and charges.. .Based operators normally receive a discount.. .In addition to landing fees you will also be charged for handling and passengers or cargo
