From Jul.1 airlines operating in SA will have to pay much more for the use of airports as well as for the services of SA's Air Traffic & Navigation Services. Tariffs at ATNS could rise 43% this year. The proposed price increase has been announced by ATNS's independent economic regulating committee, the same body which previously proposed price increases for ACSA of 60%-odd this year. Airlines, which are ACSA's most important clients, are extremely worried about the increases. ATNS's tariffs will have risen 50% within two years, while ACSA's landing and parking rates will double. Airlines and consumers cannot afford this. The International Air Travel Association expressed unhappiness with the regulator's draft proposals.
