Airports make money with aeronautical (airside) user charges. These are charges

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.

Explanation / Answer

VARIOUS REASONS FOR IMPORTANCE OF USER CHARGES

YES I DO THINK THAT AIRLINES AND PASSENGERS ARE BEING SOMEWHAT TAXED TOO MUCH FOR SUCH FEES, BECAUSE it's NOT THE DUTY OF THE PASSENGER TO PAY FOR SUCH EXPENSES AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE LIABLE TO PAY FOR SUCH EXPENSES

THOUGH IF ITS, A NOMINAL AMOUNT PER TICKET ITS FINE, BUT CHARGING EXTRA IS SIMPLY NOT ACCEPTABLE

IN ORDER TO AVOID ESCALATING COSTS AND KEEPING THE CHARGES LOWER FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED

I WOULD MAKE THE TICKETS ADD A NOMINAL RATE UNDER "MISCELLANEOUS" AND CHARGE FROM THE AIRLINES A DECENT AMOUNT BASED ON HOURLY BASIS NOT A FIXED AMOUNT SO THAT NO ONE FEELS CHEATED

AND WITH SUCH MONEY WE CAN OPEN UP MORE HANGERS SO THAT MORE AIRPLANES CAN BE PARKED AND LOWER OPERATION COSTS AND WILL BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN PROFIT
