Airport charges slashed around the world, but some hubs still raising fees

In times of economic difficulties and declining traffic one might expect airport charges to be dwindling, or at least being revised downwards to attract new routes or even just to retain existing business. In fact, that is the case, but a survey by the Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation demonstrates it is also notable that charges are in some cases increasing. Additionally, it is a sign of the times that airlines and trade organisations are also making their voice felt.
