These updates cover a multitude of individual fee and charge elements, including:
- Runway
- Passenger
- Security
- Passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRM)
- Aircraft parking
- Aircraft noise
- Aircraft emissions
- Infrastructure
- Terminal navigation
- Government passenger taxes
- Incentive schemes
The above elements can vary depending on aircraft model, aircraft weight, number of passengers on board, destination and even the aircraft engines.
Taking these individual elements into account this equates to over 290,000 fees and charges changes in 2025, all of which are available in AirportCharges. Every single one of these 290,000 fees and charges changes can alter an airline\aircraft operator’s airport charge costs.
