Just reading an article on Reuters which is saying European LCC are pressurising airports to slash charges in return for resuming flights.
In letters shared with Reuters Wizz,RYR and EZY have demanded long lasting fee discounts or waivers from airports signalling that the lowest offers win more traffic.
Wizz in a request for proposals indicated it would shake up its business flagging significant shifts in network strategy resulting in capacity reallocation between airports. "Bidders are requested to submit a price offer concerning a 3 year agreement" it said calling for an "all in" charge to replace the usual passenger, take off, landing parking and security fees.
RYRs up from demands "Ryanair will prioritise airports who agree the following load factor/cost measures" it said before requesting a 100% waiver on fees until October. and deep cuts extending another year.
EZY invited airports to make apprentice style pitches during Skype presentations, to discuss re starting operations. adding "we request that you present to us your best offer, which will strongly influence how we deploy capacity"
Airlines obviously using the situation to squeeze maximum benefit for themselves.
