~LIGHT, 3 April 961 LANDING, LIGHTING AND OTHER CHARGES AND TAXES IMPOSED BY 40 COUNTRIES* In a debate in the House of Lords on February 23 about landing fees, Lord Ogmore said he had tried to compare the various charges throughout the world, and that he had consulted the ICAO manual "Airport and Navigation Facility Tariffs"—"But not having a computer available," he said, "I was not able to make the necessary calculations." Replying for the Government, Lord Mills remarked: "I also have been studying this volume . . . and, as Lord Ogmore says, one needs a computer to work out what it really means." In the following tables—which are the work of human computer Mr G. L. Marchault—"Flight" offers such an analysis. The airport charges levied by some 40 different countries are listed. These are the facts and figures behind the article "Landing Fees—Plus" that appeared in "Flight" for March 16, and which showed that London is not the most expensive airport in the world.
