§ Mr. William RossTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions if he will list for each airport in the United Kingdom, in rank order, the schedule of passenger service charges for passengers (i) arriving and (ii) departing from and to destinations within(a) the United Kingdom, (b) the EU and (c) elsewhere. [77297]
§ Ms Glenda Jackson[holding answer 18 March 1999]: Passenger charges are levied on the airlines by airports for services and facilities provided by the airport operator. A schedule of passenger charges at UK airports subject to economic regulation by the CAA under the Airports Act 1968 are set out in the table. As the structure of charges varies widely between airports, it is not possible to rank them. Charges are generally shown for domestic and international passengers, and distinctions between EU and other international destinations are not made. Airport levy charges on either departing passengers or arriving passengers, but not both.
