Measures for Airlines to Reduce Airport Congestion Fees: Scheme Design and Performance Assessment

Table 4

A typical example of flight merging.

Flight number	Push-back time	Aircraft	Seating capacity	Original queue length	Current queue length	Original congestion fees (RMB)	Current congestion fees (RMB)	Change in value of fees (RMB)
CSZ9617	10:17	A320	150	15	—	8930	4233b	−4697
CSN3599	10:31	A320	150	10	—	2431	1152b	−1279
Postmerging	10:31	A333	335	—	9	11,361	5385	−5976

Note. Current congestion fees are calculated with the same proportion of original congestion fees. Details are as follows: 5385 ∗ (8930/11361) = 4233 and 5385 ∗ (2431/11361) = 1152.
