Airport charges are incurred whenever aircraft take off, land, or are parked, as well as whenever passenger facilities are used. In addition, charges are levied based on the noise and emissions generated by the aircraft.

The sole purpose of charges is to fund airport infrastructure and to pay for the associated running costs. In Germany, airport charges are subject to approval under Section 19b of the German Aviation Act (LuftVG). The Civil Aviation Authority responsible for Frankfurt Airport is the Hessian Ministry of Economic Affairs, Energy, Transport, Housing and Rural Areas (HMWVW). Before charges are set, airlines are invited to participate in the approval process through annual consultations and other measures.
