Customs and Immigration in Europe (and C+I where it is not published - how?)

I believe that they cannot charge you if they are there anyway. Just like at any land border crossing.

Wow thats unheard of in aviation. Thanks for the info

I don’t think so. It’s quite usual at the international airports – no additional fee for customs and immigration.

Well I was referring to the 12 Euro fee.

In the US we had 0 landing and customs fees with no handling required. There were a “few” exceptions to the rule however. But now that I have been properly trained in Europe I find a 12 Euro all inclusive fee fascinating.

Makes a trip to Croatia palatable and certainly economical.

It is fascinating. And it’s in Hungary. But landing (and handling) in Croatia will cost you 70-100 euro (or more), depending on airport for 2T MTOM aircraft.

I flew into Mali Losinj and dont remember a very high fee. Perhaps because it was split between 2 people.

I can confirm that LDZA is 100 EUR. Even worse, they charged me even for a landing when I returned back after my alternator failed on departure (50 EUR “only” though, for a technical landing).

LDLO Is what I was referring to. But I bet anything that LDZA has subcontracted the airport operations to one of these for profit companies to run the airport and it is because of them that it is so high. I call it the monkey see monkey do syndrome. So if LHBD charges 400 Euros then they think they have the right to do the same because they are in the same class/size or movements. It also makes little Bureaucrats feel important that they can say no or be selective through money. Similar to bouncers in front of certain popular clubs.

LDLO is approximately 30€. LDZA is owned by French company which is building new terminal. And which btw increased prices almost immediately after taking over the airport.

I hope they choke.
