Seeker Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I was having a discussion with a passenger a few days ago and the topic of Nav charges and landing fees came up. The passenger, of course, knew nothing about this - didn't even know such thing existed. He thought that the airlines used the airports for free. I naturally tried to explain how it works but, although I know about the existence of the fees and charges, didn't know actual dollar values and don't know where to find them either.I would like to find some place that gives actual dollar values to all the fees, charges etc that an airline would pay out for a typical flight, for example; YYC-YYZ. I'm not interested in internal costs just the fees paid out to Navcanada and the airport authorities so when/if the topic arises again I'll have some accurate info.

Outside Looking In Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 A lot more than Lading and Terminal fees these days. Loading Bridge, Common Use, TB Pre Clearance ect... Many exercises have been done to compare the cost at various airports and as I am sure you can imagine there are some airports who hate every time that comparison is done. Traditionally YYZ has been the most expensive of the majors but YUL has been catching up fast. YVR and YYC had always been pretty reasonable (it's all relative) but YYC will be under pressure with all the additional cost that will be coming online over the next few years. The effective per pax cost to the airline will vary by airport and airline and will range from insignificant to a vary material part of the trip cost. I agree with Hoot's reference to Nav Canada trip cost calculator in determining ATC charges. Don't be fooled by the cheap cost of ATC when flying inbound from the U.S. There is no Nav Canada terminal cost but the FAA ticket tax applies.
