12/3/2015 10 Most Expensive Airports to Land Your Plane TheRichest
Whether it’s a private aircraft, corporate or commercial jet each plane that lands at an airport must pay a landingfee. This fee falls under the category of runway charges that each airport bills for, which also includes takeofffees. There are also parking fees charged when a plane remains on the ground at an airport, usually for longerthan a 2hour turnaround time but for the purpose of this article let’s look at landing fees only.
Landing fees are based on Maximum Take Off Weight (MTOW) and not actual Take Off Weight. That meansthat no matter how many passengers are on the plane or how much cargo including luggage the MTOW is takenfrom the rating specified by the manufacturer of that particular type of plane. Most people tend to think ofprivate or corporate jets falling into only one size or classification of plane but there actually five differentcategories of private jets. The trend today is using larger size aircraft and having it customized to suit theindividual or particular company that owns it. For this reason let’s look at a common aircraft size that is usedfor that purpose, which is the 767400. The MTOW of this plane is 450,000 pounds or 204,120 kilograms.These types of aircraft are commonly being used as they can easily transport groups of more than fifty and theyare perfect for long range travel.
Landing fees vary dramatically as you will see by our list but as they account for just one part of the expense ofoperating a plane you can imagine when you start to figure in hangar fees, fuel, aviation personnel, etc. just howexpensive it is to own your own plane. Why are some landing fees so much more than others? Well some of it issupply and demand and some of it is just good old fashion greed. For example, in Canada and Japan a large partof the fee structure has to cover salaries of aviation executives. Let’s take a look at some of the airports with thehighest landing fees rounded out to the nearest dollar.
