Heathrow airport is very much concerned for boosting its domestic traffic. To achieve this goal, Heathrow is planning to reduce landing charges for domestic flights, by one third. The shortfall of income caused by this reduction in landing charges will be covered by increasing the landing charges for noisy and polluting airplanes. \u00a0This plan will be helpful to encourage airlines for flying physically fit aircrafts. It will help to reduce sound and air pollution in our environment.<\/p>\n
Environmental charges will be increased on the polluting and noisy planes as the nitrogen oxide emission tax will be doubled. The more an aircraft is noisy, the more environmental charges will be increased.\u00a0 The noisiest aircraft will have to pay \u00a39,000 per landing.<\/p>\n
Heathrow airport is suggesting a discount of \u00a310 to domestic flights which can cause a reduction to the average of \u00a329.59 in per passenger fare, but it is not necessary that the new fares would be implemented for travellers as the charges are imposed to the airlines rather than passengers.<\/p>\n
