Lentokenttäkulujen

Lentokenttäkulut, also known as airport charges or landing fees, are costs incurred by airlines for using airport facilities and services. These charges are typically levied by airport authorities to cover operational expenses, infrastructure maintenance, and development projects. The specific charges can vary significantly between airports and often depend on factors such as the size and weight of the aircraft, the type of operations (e.g., commercial passenger, cargo, general aviation), and the time of day.

Common components of lentokenttäkulut include landing fees, which are charged for each aircraft landing at the airport. Parking or apron fees are applied for the time an aircraft spends on the ground. Additionally, there are often fees for passenger services, such as terminal usage and baggage handling, as well as charges for air traffic control services. Navigation charges, for services provided during flight, can also be incorporated.

Airlines factor these costs into their operational budgets and, ultimately, into ticket prices. Airport authorities use the revenue generated from these charges to invest in airport improvements, such as runway upgrades, terminal expansions, and security enhancements, ensuring the continued safe and efficient operation of the airport. The structure and level of lentokenttäkulut are often subject to regulatory oversight and can be a point of negotiation between airports and airlines.
