China prepares fees parity
Published: Feb 28, 2008
China is considering cutting take-off and landing fees collected from foreign carriers by 40% starting from March. The fee collected from domestic airlines for domestic routes will also decrease by 20%.
The Civil Aviation Administration of China says it will unveil full details of the programme on 1 March.
The administration says that it plans to unify airport charges for international routes paid by domestic and foreign carriers within five years. The new rules will be implemented in two steps, but a detailed timeline has not been set.
The new airport fee programme is expected to help carriers cut costs by 2-3% in general, while airport income will decline by 2-3%.
CAAC will unveil a plan to reform the charging system for airlines using domestic airports from March 1, 2008. The main aim of this reformation is to coordinate the common interests of airports and airlines which does not involve the adjustment of passenger charges and will not result in rising civil airline ticket prices.
