Wednesday, December 2, 1998

THE Asia-Pacific Airlines Association (AAPA) has called for lower airport fees and aeronautical charges to help the industry cope with the regional financial crisis.

AFX-Asia reported that AAPA Director-General Richard Stirland said airport charges and aeronautical fees had become a major cost for Asian airlines, already among the “worst affected sector of the regional economies as a consequence of the Asian financial and economic crisis."

A resolution approved during a president’s assembly here called on airport operators, air traffic service providers and government authorities to help ensure the viability of the airline industry “by not levying onerous fees and charges."
