The fees are on the Airport website. There are different fees for based and non-based airlines. Staying open until 22.30 costs easyJet £1365+VAT. It is a lot less though, than paying for 150 hotel rooms! There was an FoI last year which gave details of how much airlines had paid, and which confirmed that easyJet do pay such fees, when they incur them. That £1365 is a joke really, except where there is bad weather, that amount is no deterrent for any airline to run to schedule. You could stick a zero on the end and it would probably still be less than what an airline would have to pay for putting passengers up in hotels at the departure point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not meant to act as a deterrent. Because you don't want to deter airlines so much that they decide not to fly here at all. It's meant to cover the extra costs (whether it does or not is another matter). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way £1365 would cover the costs. It's not just ATC, it's the whole airport. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaaish Posted Monday at 10:16 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:16 AM EasyJet are getting away lightly on social media. That aircraft was running to schedule until it was time to depart to the Island. The failings and necessary improvements at Ronaldsway are well documented and I don’t dispute them, but EasyJet are a cowboy outfit. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banker Posted Monday at 10:28 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:28 AM Gatwick delayed this morning due to late arrival but now hitting ATC break but who’s getting the blame? ATC and airport!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted Monday at 10:33 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:33 AM The Gatwick flight is consistently late it appears how the Airport is in any way to blame baffles me. The cost of keeping an airport open for one flight is ridiculous if Easy Jet cannot service this flight it should be withdrawn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all going in the right direction and it takes time. The harm was done years ago by people who aren’t there anymore. It takes time to fix and that is what is happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Buggane Posted Tuesday at 12:20 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:20 PM Most people think (me included) that the harm is being caused by the people still there, and have they found any oil for the bloody trolley wheels yet 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many VALID ATC are there? How many STUDENTS are there? How many people have they plucked off the street and given a name tag that says ‘ATC’ to?? The airport continues to close multiple times every day - this is all SPIN. 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
