Transparency in pricing frameworks is an absolute requirement at Peace Flight Hub. Every final itinerary quote and airline ticket breakdown provided by our agents details the exact distribution of mandatory government duties, statutory carrier charges, and airport terminal fees.
1. UK Air Passenger Duty (APD)
Air Passenger Duty is a statutory excise duty levied on passenger aircraft departing from all United Kingdom airports. The cost of APD is set dynamically by HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) and varies based on your final destination zone and selected seating tier (such as Standard Economy vs. Premium Economy, Business, or First Class cabins).
2. Fuel & Carrier-Imposed Surcharges (YQ/YR Codes)
These are separate infrastructure and operational costs introduced natively by the operating airlines to account for fluctuations in global aviation fuel pricing. These fees are designated inside your IATA electronic ticket profile as YQ or YR taxes, and are completely mandated by the executing carrier.
3. Airport Infrastructure & Security Fees
Every commercial airport charges localized terminal operational levies. These include mandatory passenger service charges (PSC), terminal baggage system maintenance elements, and local security screening costs, all of which are built directly into the base tax components of your final ticket contract.
