This helps ensure that all operators are paying their fair share, all billable weight is being captured, and unit landing fees are maintained at their lowest possible level.
The programme has automated over 20% of airport revenue, which used to be a manual process. It has increased revenue capture by an average of 1%, and in certain instances as high as 4%.
This has been achieved by identifying landings that were not self-reported, as well as using airframe-specific weights based on the company’s patented tail number capture.
PASSUR’s automatic landing fee programme allows data to be entered directly into the airport’s financial billing system.
