Airports make money with aeronautical (airside) user charges. These are charges for services and facilities related directly
Question:
Airports make money with aeronautical (airside) user charges. These are charges for services and facilities related directly to the processing of aircrafts, their passengers, and cargo operations. Some of these fees include landing fees, aircraft parking and hangar charges, passenger service charges, and cargo service charges.
Discuss the various reasons that aeronautical user charges are important to an airport operator. Would you say that it appears the airlines and passengers are being "taxed" too much for these charges?
If you were the planner, consider how you would help to avoid these escalating costs, thereby keeping these charges lower for airlines, passengers, and especially for the air cargo industry.
