Part I - Landing fees

1 Allgemein

1.1 For every aircraft landing at the airport of Schönhagen a landing fee is payable to the airport administration. For commercial air traffic with passenger-processing an additional passenger landing fee is required.
Debtor of these fees as joint debtor is

1. the person or legal body utilising the aircraft, without being the owner or keeper: that is, rentee or lease-holder
2. the aircraft keeper
3. the shipping agent
4. the air carrier as joint debtor, under whose airline code/flight number each flight is undertaken (Code Sharing)
   

1.2 For aircraft, helicopters and self-launching motor gliders the landing fee is calculated according to the MTOW (maximum take-off weight) as entered in the registration documents of the aircraft and according to its noise pollution category. For commercial aircraft involving passenger processing, the landing fee will increase according to the number of passengers on board at time of landing (variable part of the landing fee).

1.3 The landing fee must be paid in Euros at latest prior to the following take-off.

The noise category of the aircraft is to be ascertained by presentation of a noise certificate according to NFL II- 56/99, or a comparable foreign noise certificate. This is to be done, at the latest, prior to the next take-off following landing, and in accordance with details given in the appendix.

If the aircraft’s noise category cannot be ascertained then the highest landing fee for that weight category is payable. Retroactive refunds are not possible.

1.4 The landing fee is a fee in terms of § 10, Para. 1 of the Sales Tax Act. Thus the joint debtor is liable for Sales Tax.

1.5 A landing fee is also payable if the aircraft touches the ground, before immediate take off.

1.6 For hover flights by rotary-winged aircraft that extend beyond comparable runway movements of regular aircraft, a landing fee is payable for each six-minute period begun.
