Landing Fee

Category: aviation

A charge levied by an airport for the privilege of landing on its runway.

Landing fees vary wildly by airport. A small town airport might charge $50, while a major international hub can charge thousands for a private jet. These fees are usually passed through to the client as part of the charter trip costs.

Common Examples

• The high landing fee at the international hub was factored into the charter estimate provided to the client for the trip.
• Careful planning of airport choices can significantly reduce total trip costs by avoiding unnecessary and expensive landing fees.
