Airport Charges. How do we compare ?

[Major]

I would assume that airport charges for SYD and MEL are the most expensive in Australia. OOL charges are low

Gold Coast Airport » Airport Charges

MCY is also low

But how do we compare with other countries ?

Some airports are much more expensive than others. I think we are much better off than LHR.

If award taxes and charges are any indication then most US airports have low airport charges compared to most countries around the world.

I avoid flying to Europe via LHR for a number of reasons, one of which is the level of airport charges.
