Airports in Nova Scotia, Canada

Private aircraft landing in Port Hawkesbury will be charged $500.00 fee from the airport authority. If you have any questions you can email me at tony@empirearchives.com. Things are not always what they seem and these people who run this airport don't care.

"Private aircraft will not be charged a landing fee however, a landing fee will be applied to all military, government and commercial aircraft." http://www.porthawkesburyairport.com/products.htm

This was a private airplane that was charged the $500.00 fee. It said nothing about it on their website. They said no one ever complained about it before. I replied the landing fee at JFK in New York was a deal at $150.00 compared to Port Hawksbury. I will be contacting AOPA and CAPA about the fee.

This page does say that the airport has landing fees for commercial and military aircraft, but it doesn't specify the amounts: http://www.porthawkesburyairport.com/news.htm

I'm sorry to hear about the fee. Certainly, there was none for my little Piper a few years ago when I visited. I hope someone from the airport can comment on this incident.
