Zurich Landing Fees Negative Impact for LX & Zurich
A substantial rise in landing fees at Zurich Kloten Airport has resulted in Easyjet threatening to exit the Zurich market. This could raise fares by 25 Euros per passenger.
Could be further negative for LX and Zurich connections.

Certainly this IS negative for ZRH as a connecting place. OTOH, the taxes only go up once the new terminal is opened. I certainly look forward to that.

As a swiss customer it don't really care about the CHF 36, because its not really a reason to use another airport if you are flying on a regular fare. It certainly will drive LCC customers away, who are used to pay those ridiculously low fares. There, paying 30% or more of your fare as airport taxes will make a difference. From a swiss perspective this might not be as bad as it looks.

If I'm on one of those, I usually check luggage and need to be there earlier anyway. I hope that the shorthauls still leave from terminal A.

The increased fees might have an impact on the attractiveness of ZRH as a hub may be??
