 Abstract

Noise is one of the main concerns of airports around the world. Several measures have been taken by regulators to reduce noise at airports. Some of these measures are meant to control noise at major or busy airports; however, certain operational restrictions (quota, curfew, and budget) are also implemented throughout the whole country regardless of the role and the size of the airports. An empirical example, using the Rotterdam Airport, a regional airport in the Netherlands, illustrates how regional airport should determine its night surcharges policies, especially with different type of aircraft categories. In this research, the night surcharges received from Business Jet category and Commercial aircraft category are being compared. The results indicate that the night surcharges did not compensate for the number of day time flight movements and potential revenues losses. Regional airport may need to be more selective in setting the night surcharges in order to maximise its revenues.
