Dubai International reviewing airline fees
Fees paid by airlines, including Emirates and Flydubai, to use Dubai International are under review and could be increased, the CE of operator Dubai Airports said Monday. “We are looking at what may well result in us having to make a small increase in the aeronautical charges,” Paul Griffiths said. The review comes 4 months after Griffiths said Dubai International, owned by the Dubai govt, would not follow Bahrain, who at the time was reportedly looking at increasing airport charges because of the falling oil price. In October, Griffiths said: “There is no relativity in my mind between the price of oil and the charges we put at the airport.” Monday, he maintained his position even with oil now sitting US$35 a barrel, nearly $20 less than the high seen in October. <br/>
