What we've noted and heard over the years is there should be a minimum fee. In our case, those fees are very close to what larger carriers pay. For us, it's the same thing when it comes to NAV CANADA. We pay $1,486 for a 33‑seat aircraft. If I were flying a 143‑seat jet, say a Boeing 737‑700, the fee would be $2,006 per day. That's less than a $600 difference, but I could carry four times as many passengers.
Given these conditions, the cost per passenger is really quite high. For every PASCAN customer, the money comes in and we pay it out. Up to 40% of the ticket value simply goes to fees and taxes.
