What is covered by Taxes, Fees and Charges in my reservation? |
|
Taxes, Fees and Charges are calculated by reference to the government taxes and airport taxes/charges payable by Ryanair on a particular itinerary. These may include government taxes, airport taxes/charges and passenger service charges. Additionally, Ryanair may charge an online check-in fee, a special assistance levy, an aviation insurance levy, flight delay/cancellation levy (EU261 Levy) and in some cases passenger security charges. Explanations of the taxes, fees and charges are detailed below: Fees and Charges imposed by the Government and the Airport UK Air Passenger Duty (APD) - Taxes such as UK APD levied each passenger on all flights which depart from a UK airport. The fees are as follows: £13 (GBP) per person for each UK domestic flight (£26 on a return UK domestic flight) Government Tax - These are refundable government levied air travel taxes which are payable in certain countries (e.g.UK, Ireland, Germany). A refund administration fee applies to all applications click here for details Passenger Service Charge/Airport tax - This is a charge made by the airport authority to an airline for the use of the terminal, runway, emergency services, security facilities etc. In some cases this charge also includes the cost of passenger and ramp handling at the airport. This non refundable charge is made on a per passenger basis and varies from airport to airport. Other Fees and Charges Aviation Insurance Levy - This aviation insurance surcharge was introduced after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Governments no longer covered airlines for acts of terrorism and consequently airline insurance costs rose dramatically. The charge is €5.99 per passenger/per flight and similar measures have also been taken by airlines worldwide. PRM Levy (passengers with reduced mobility) - This charge is €0.50 cent per passenger/per flight for the provision of special assistance services at airports for passengers with reduced mobility.. Flight Delay/Cancellation Levy (EU261 Levy) – This charge of €2.50/£2.50 per passenger/per flight has been introduced to defray the unrecoverable costs incurred by Ryanair when flights are delayed or cancelled following ‘force majeure’ events such as the volcanic ash airspace closure, adverse weather, air traffic control strikes, failure of airport infrastructure, unexpected aircraft technical problems etc. Upon reform of EU Reg. 261, to include an effective right of recovery clause and a non discriminatory “force majeure” clause then we will reduce and/or eliminate this levy altogether. ETS (Emission Trading Scheme) Levy– This charge of €0.25/£0.25 per person/per sector has been introduced to meet the costs imposed by the European Union on air passengers (but not train/ferry or coach travellers) under its 2012 Emissions Trading Scheme. Ryanair believe that European aviation should not be included in the ETS scheme since it accounts for less than 2% of the EU’s man made CO2 emissions. This new ETS tax is the latest in a long line of cost increases imposed on Europe’s air passengers by the European Commission. Administration Fee - To defray the substantial costs incurred by Ryanair managing and maintaining our reservation system an administration fee applies to each passenger per flight. All bookings will incur a €6.00/£6.00 administration fee per passenger/per one-way flight. |
