Not sure exactly what you are looking for here but like most things associated with Governmental regulations, this is a question with a lot of variables and 'weird' answers. For instance, most airports charge a flat fee per landing plus a host of incurred charges, usually based on a formula using weight, number of passenger sests, etc. For instance, at MIA Intnl, the 'average' charge for a B767-400ER is calculated on an 'average' landing weight of 350,000 pounds and is typically [average] some $672 per landing. To see all the variables and how they enter into the equation, you may wish to visit the website at: http://www.miami-airport.com/p...and_charges_Book.pdf I do not have current info to hand for Dulles Psgr fees but they publish a blurb re cargo landing fees which states: "When compared to other cargo gateways, Dulles, in many ways offers carriers an advantage on airport operating costs. One example is landing fees. Landing fees are normally charged on a "per thousand pound basis." Of course the fee itself (Dulles's current fee is $2.13 per 1,000 lbs.*) is significant as this charge varies from airport to airport. However, the basis of the charge is important, too. Air carriers landing at Dulles pay a landing fee based on the Maximum Landing Weight (MLW) of the aircraft. Some other airports base their landing fee on the Maximum Take Off Weight (MTOW). When an example of a B747-400F is used, the MTOW can reach 875,000 lbs vs. a MLW of 652,000 lbs--a difference of 223,000 lbs. This difference can prove to be a significant annual cost saving factor for an airline's bottom line." {http://www.dullescargo.com/dc_fees.html] If you should need more specific info re SAA I would think they would be able to provide this info, probaly you could find out via an inquiry to their web. Hope some of this helps. Best regards, Lord, give me patience 'cuz if you give me strength I'll need bail money!! 'TrapperP' | |||
