Airport Fees Must Be Uniform And Transparent, UN Body Says
Aeronautical fees imposed at airports in countries which are members of the U.N.'s International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)- including Cambodia- must be uniformly and transparently applied to all airlines, a spokesperson for the ICAO said yesterday. Last week, airline officials said that a $1,000-per-landing royalty fee at Siem Reap International Airport- imposed by the country's aviation regulator, the State Secretariat for Civil Aviation (SSCA) was driving up the cost of operating in Cambodia. ... Officials from Malaysia Airlines, Korea Air and Silk Air, confirmed last week that they pay the $1,000 royalty fee on each of their planes that land at the airport. The royalty is in addition to the normal landing fees at the airport.
