At Some Small and Medium-Sized Airports, Airline Landing Fees to be Waived

CAAC made it clear at the National Civil Aviation Work Conference that some new policies will be introduced at some small and medium-sized airports, with the result that landing fees would be waived for airline companies. The policy was adopted to help support the airline industry through the economic crisis. CAAC also reiterated that applications for new airline companies would not accepted in principle until 2010. The policy of waiving landing fees to airlines in some small and medium-sized airports has not yet been formally introduced, a person from the China Civil Airports Association said, who also believed that, in his opinion, waiving landing fees would be a short-term measure.
