Landing, parking fees halved for 1 month to aid airlines

By The Nation

 

 

The Department of Airports is launching measures to ease financial impacts on airlines following the latest Covid-19 outbreak, said acting director-general Apirat Chaiwongnoi.

 

 

The department will cut both landing and parking fees by 50 per cent for domestic and international flights. The measure will be effective for one month, from February 1-28.

 

It will also extend the cut in shop rental fees at its airports to March 31.

 

Apirat said the moves were in line with Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob’s policy of seeking measures to help airlines combat financial fallout from the outbreak.

Don`t be so ungracious...a special committee was set up and spent four days thinking about this before it was put before the PM for him to rubber stamp it....

What a relief knowing that airlines will be over the effects of the covid crisis by the end of February.

So what is the difference between AOT and 'The Department of Airports'

I read before Christmas that AOT were suspending landing and parking fees until the end of March.

Who are we to believe?

such charges represent less than 4% of a long haul  flight cost.  It will make no difference.
