Feb 28, 2018 (newstodate): Russia intends to equalize airport charges for Russian and foreign carriers.
While this would be an obvious issue in the western world, the new policy, if enforced, would put strong pressure on Russian carriers that have so far benefited from airport charges lower than those levied on foreign airlines.
Enforcing a new airport charges scheme for all airlines alike would lead to significant cost increases by the Russian carriers while foreign carriers can hardly expect to benefit from the changes.
For Russian airports this would mean increased revenues and improvements in financial means to raise standards and develop infrastructure.
