The regulatory approach to set aeronautical charges in Brussels airport is an single till price cap
regulation. Hence, aeronautical charges are determined by taking into account:
(i) costs pertaining aeronautical services; and
(ii) costs and revenues pertaining commercial activities included in the regulatory till.
The regulatory till does not include all commercial activities.
Currently, commercial activities that are included in the regulatory till (i.e. activities that
contribute to defray aeronautical charges) are:
• Retail activities;
• Car parking;
• Advertising;
• Airport-related real estate activities.
On the contrary, commercial activities that are excluded from the regulatory till are:
• No airport-related real estate activities.
Regulation (which was implemented in 2005) prescribes that contribution from commercial
revenues towards aeronautical charges shall decline linearly in the course ofyears, and be
completely removed within, at maximum, four regulatory periods. At that time, the single till
approach will be replaced by a dual till approach.
