 Posted: Mon Dec 29, 2003 3:05 pm Post subject: EDI 'calming'? |
 |
|
Are BAA operating an aircraft pricing policy to encourage certain
classes into it's three Scottish monopoly airports.?
For instance are airlines charged less at GLA for say, aircraft
above 757 size.?
Are airlines charged less at EDI for aircraft below 757 size.?
It would be interesting to discover the truth about BAA's Scottish
Airport charges....
Airlines MIGHT be free to choose which airport to use but are their
decisions decided ultimately by economic rather than logical
reasons.?

Aircraft are charged per Metric Tonne of aircraft weight. Its split into
categories and charged accordingly.
These charges will never be made to the public but I would probably guess
each airline depending on how many flights they are putting thought the
airport will come to a setprice with the BAA.
Economically airport charges are very similar, they have to be its a
business after all.

So not 50p per passenger more at GLA than EDI then?

I believe there are a whole host of other considerations such as cost
differentials for the airport services required - remote stands/air bridges,
time spent at stand, overnighting, check-in desks, office space, security,
etc

I understand that Colin, what I would like to know is whether these
charges vary enough between EDI and GLA to affect classes of traffic
using each airport.?

I think it was 8p for 737 pax.
I'm wondering about pax on larger aircraft...  )

The charges between Edinburgh and Glasgow will be pence Joe, not pounds...

I would have thought so too. You just can't rely on information
you find in newsgroups these days :-)

I dunno, I'll have to see the actual tarriffs before I believe there
is parity.
BAA used to charge 757s extra at EDI...I'm wondering if the 767 and
above tariff remains unchanged.
The only thing to satisfy any doubt is proof of the pudding...

I would have thought that charges at EDI and GLA were identical
given each airport is owned by BAA...?

I think what Joe was trying too put forward was that EDI was a BUSINESS |
airport and GLA a bucket and spade airport.

Well I'm basing that on the Aer Rianta web site which shows a breakdown of
the charges. I'm assuming that's the way it works elsewhere.

He wouldn't believe it anyway if it turned out the charges didn't suit him. |
