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.

Well - it's not like anyone will be going there again after the Olympics are over, so they need to recover as much as they can now...
Anyway, fly a BBJ in there and you're game ;-)

Apparently (according to the handlers) flights are being cancelled left, right, and centre as a result of this nonsense.
I suspect the salt mines could well have a few new inmates in the very near future!!

It gets better.
The Guaranteed Service Package which is mandatory for Sochi or the three other nearby parking airports.
Up to 50 Tons MTOW $62,000 per landing!!
50 to 100 Tons MTOW $68,000 per landing.
Oh and the business aviation / VIP Terminal wont be finished in time so you will also have to go through the main terminal / customs with the great unwashed.

Yes thats the one!!
Also that charge is just the airport charges the handling fees are on top of that.
Also they are now saying they will not book the slot until the full amount of the money is in their bank!
Have they lost the plot?

Additional handling like GPU or lavatory svcs will be applicable.

We had booked our slots ages ago and I thought we were all sorted.
I was told around an hour ago that all Slots booked prior to the 28th January have now been cancelled.
They will not book a new slot until they have received the money into their bank.
