All prices will be re-checked and updated in Apr 2023 (due to Covid causing closures, special pricing, etc.).

* Parking charge is not applied on first night of parking.
** HIAL = Highlands and Islands Airports. Includes: Barra, Benbecula, Campbeltown, Islay, Inverness, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Sumburgh, Tiree and Wick.
*** Airport discounts available if you become a member of the local aero club.

Keynotes:
AIRPORT CHARGE - The Airport Charge includes all charges levied by the aerodrome from inbound approach to outbound departure for a 2-seater SEP aircraft (MTOW 757kg) operated non-commercially during standard, non-peak operating hours.
Includes: Any landing fees, instrument approach fees, navigation service charges, runway movement and departure fees levied for visiting (non-based) aircraft.
Excludes: VAT, parking, discounts, training rates, package deals, rebates or any other promotional offers.

24HR PARKING CHARGE - Parking Charge is for up to 24hrs after any initial free period of parking (typically 2 hours at most airports).
Excludes: VAT.

MINIMUM FBO FEE - FBO Fee obtained by contacting several based handling agents and flying schools on-site and noting the cheapest on offer.
Includes : Security fees and passes, slot fees
Excludes: VAT and any extra passenger fees.

GRAND TOTAL - Total to land, park for a night and take off the following day within a 24hr period.
Includes: VAT where applicable.

Main changes in 2019:
+ Isle of Man handling fees significantly reduced.
- Signature have stopped doing cheap handling at Aberdeen, sending prices up 10x, but there is no other GA handling agent.
- Southampton and Inverness have introduced mandatory handling fees.
- Significantly above average inflation rises at Aberdeen, Southampton, Inverness, Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Manchester, Bristol and Biggin Hill. Mainly due to mandatory handling fees and other security fees becoming rather ridiculous.
- Otherwise, charges have risen in-line with inflation.
