airport tax

Terminal usage charge

Airport tax is a fee charged to passengers departing from or arriving at an airport, typically included in ticket prices or collected separately at the terminal.

These taxes fund airport infrastructure, security, and operations.

Some countries require payment in local currency at departure: We almost missed our flight scrambling to pay the airport tax.
