As Congress considers a Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) increase on American passengers, U.S. airports collected an all - time high $ 28.8 billion in revenues in 2016, up 80 percent from 2000 and 7 percent from 2015, thanks to
rising airport fees, rent and PFC collections from travelers.
One
fee that has become crucial to YVR's ambitions and a lightning rod for consumer discontent is the Airport Improvement Fee (AIF), which rose from $ 15 to $ 20 last year for passengers travelling outside of B.C. Whereas U.S. airports rely heavily on funding from government for infrastructure, Canadian airports are forced to borrow or raise fees, explains YVR senior vice-president Tony Gugliot
