Why do we need passenger charges, landing charges, aircraft parking charges and hangars? |
And what do they do with money they get? |

Passenger charges are usually the fee for the passenger to use the terminal facilities - including toilets, security, immigration, etc.
Landing charges are per aircraft and depend on the aircraft and airport.
Parking charges - use of a gate with an airbridge is more expensive than a remote gate with a bus and stairs. Notice how low cost airlines often involve a bus ride to the plane for that very reason.
As to why you now see the charges listed seperately, it's to show how "cheap" the actual airfare really is, versus how much the airport and government tax you on that airfare. Luckily in the UK (and EU?) the price you see is the price you pay, not like some websites that tempt you with a low fare and then hit you with all the surcharges above. And fuel surcharge - grrrrr! |

It's called making money.
Probably waste it if it is a tax
I reserve judgement if it is not, in which case some of it Will go towards better facilities but the rest will be wasted by shareholders after the government has grabbed more tax to waste on Members of parliament etc. The shareholders are of course entitled to waste it because 17.5% will go to the government to waste on everything they buy. Hey Ho now you know!!! it is the same the world over |

You pay for what you use.
If you are flying you can expect to pay a charge towards the construction and maintenance of the airports that you depart from. Surely much fairer than everybody (non-fliers included) paying through income tax.
These charges also contribute towards air traffic control, safety and security. |

Passenger charges are the fees that an airport charged to the airline for each passenger who lands or departs from their airport. They feel it is a "usage" fee for their building and facilities.
Landing charges are fees the airport charges each airline for the use and maintenance of their grounds and the use of those facilities.
Aircraft parking charges are fees the airport charges to an airline for parking their equipment on their grounds for a length of time. (If they park overnight, if they layover for so many hours) The airports feel that this is taking up space that another aircraft could be using to pull in and use their space.
Hangars - need to have a place to inspect aircraft, perform maintenance on the aircraft, and to park them for extended periods of time.
Fees paid to the airport go to maintain buildings and facilities. (Restrooms, janitorial, security - not TSA) |

Because since the terrorist attacks in 2001 Air Travel has become more expensive and Airlines need to keep the seats on their flights as cheap as possible. They add the charges on as the Airlines charges has risen massively, they have to pay for more security etc.
It's a shame that the passengers have to pay more but it has to be done to keep seat prices down. |
