Over the last thirty years, airports within the EU - including nearly a hundred newly built or rebuilt during that time - have undergone a major economic transformation. From mere infrastructure providers, airports have become diversified and complex commercial enterprises in competition with each other. This book is the first and only one thus far to deal with the legal issues surrounding this important development, focusing on the impact of EU Directive 12\/2009 on airport charges.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in this book: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExamining the use of airport infrastructure, the growing competition among airports, and the relations between airlines and airports, the author, a leading aviation law practitioner, covers such issues and topics as the following: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003etypes of charges - landing, passenger, aircraft parking;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003epricing factors determining airport charges;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003evertical contractual relations between airports and airlines;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eairport market power and dominance;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eissues of consultation and transparency;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eability of airlines and passengers to switch to alternative airports;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eapplication of State aid rules;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003esecurity charges;\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eenvironmental charges and schemes; and\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eprice discrimination and differentiation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book first discusses the nature of airport charges, the factors determining their price and structure, and then, proceeds with an analysis of the basic provisions of the Directive and on the effects of its implementation in the EU Member States.
