Airports give view on prices

By DANIEL RIORDAN

Four airports and the airlines' umbrella group have made submissions to the Commerce Commission on its price-control study of airports' airfield charges.

The study follows protests by airlines against Auckland and Christchurch airports for raising their landing charges.

The commission now has submissions from Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Gisborne Airports, and the Board of Airline Representatives of New Zealand. It plans to publish its draft report on June 8.

Interested parties can make submissions on the report at a conference before the commission makes its final recommendations to Commerce Minister Paul Swain on November 2.
