Same aircraft. Same city pair. £2,000 difference — depending on which London airport you choose. We visited the London Southend Jet Centre Open Day a few weeks ago, and it's a great reminder of how much airport selection can impact total trip cost. Using AirportCharges you can see a full charge-by-charge breakdown across airports in seconds - runway charges, passenger security, government taxes, and more. For business aviation, the numbers can be eye-opening. Farnborough comes in at around £5,000 for the same operation that costs roughly £3,000 at Southend - a difference driven almost entirely by runway and security charges, not government fees. It's exactly the kind of transparency that helps brokers and charter operators make faster, better-informed decisions. Curious what the numbers look like for your routes? Get in touch - we'd love to show you. #BusinessAviation #AirportCharges #RDCAviation #CharterAviation #AircraftBrokerage

✈️ Global aviation emissions reached 68 million tonnes CO₂ in May 2026 Our latest report highlights a key reality: 60% of emissions remain outside compliance schemes. With 15.4 million tonnes CO₂ in May alone, the United States plays a critical role in shaping the industry’s sustainability path, especially as much of its activity sits outside formal frameworks. 📊 Understanding where emissions are generated is essential for making informed, data-driven decisions across aviation. 📄 Report available 👉 https://lnkd.in/dWd7i2gM #Aviation #Sustainability #Emissions #Airlines #Airports #Data
