SkyEurope skirmish with PPL over night flights fee Slovakian no-frills airline

"This stems from our policy. We simply fly to the main airports," said Christian Mandl, managing director of SkyEurope. PPL is demanding additional fees for landing late in the evenings and nights. "Apart from exceptional situations, no scheduled planes can land at that time of the day. It is located in the center of city and we have to limit traffic for the sake of the citizens. SkyEurope planes were reg-ularly violating this rule," said Edyta Miko ajczyk, spokeswoman for PPL. SkyEurope argues that it is unable to overnight its planes in Warsaw because of the PPL regulations. "Currently our planes spend the night in Kraków," said Mandl. At the moment the airline flies 15 planes and intends to boost this number to 32 by 2009. (Puls Biznesu, pp. 1, 8) M.M..
