Emission-related Landing Fees
During take-off and landing aircrafts emit pollutants such as NOx (nitrogen oxides) and HC (unburnt hydrocarbon). Both pollutants are precursor substances of the so-called summer-smog and are considered to contribute – in addition to other emission sources – to local environment problems in the vicinity of airports. In order to restrict these pollutants emission-related landing fees for the first time have been charged at selected German airports in January 2008. The implementation of these fees aims at the improvement of the local air quality on German airports.
