Parking charges beyond 2 hours, paid per arrangement with airport. Charge for aircraft landing, per thousand pounds of MGLW (maximum gross landing weight). Additional charge for day landing or takeoff (not for schedule airlines). Charge for using public passenger ramp and apron area (in some cases, when congestion).
