What are the factors that depend on airlines getting charged for "parking" at certain international airport ???
Which would be the most expensive airport to have any airlines flight parked ???
How much the BAA be charging to airlines like "American Airlines", "Indian Airlines", "Air Canada", etc. for having their planed parked in Heathrow (owned by BAA) ???
Does the charge vary for country to country or would be depend on how often the flight lands in their airport (i.e. once in a week, 2 times a week, etc.) or would it get charged based on the number of hours it get parked at certain airport ???
Along with parking charges, how does/much an airline get charged towards having its plane cleaned, petrol fill-up, baggage handling charge, etc. by the authority of the airport they park their plane in ???
How about the domestic flights parking charge ???

This is quite complex.
Aircraft must pay a landing fee, as well as parking. The amount depends upon a number of factors including the weight of the aircraft. There is also a charge per passenger for various items.
Other aircraft-handling issues are paid with the provider concerned - eg fuel, catering, cleaning, toilet servicing etc etc
The cost of landing and parking a 747 at a major airport runs into thousands of pounds.
Take a look at this: (Leeds/Bradford is a relatively small and cheap airport, and to gov you some idea, a 737 weighs around 65 tonnes - a 747 up to 400)

There are several charges at airports in the UK and around Europe. First is the landing fee, this goes by weight, next is ramp fees, for loading and unloading suitcases, fire cover etc, - number of pax, parking charges - category of aircraft and length of stay, Refuelling charges, quantity and type, fire cover etc., Traffic control, those in the control tower who give the clearances. Ground servicing charges - A&P mechanics who carry out minor repairs and turn around servicing.
Reprovisioning charges - food, water and duty free, the list goes on.
How much? no idea, but I do know a landing fee at a small regional airport, for a light single would be in the region of £12 -£15. This is sometimes waived if you upload fuel from the airport.
Parking fees would be in the region of £5 - £10 per night, on the far side of the apron.
Smaller airfields can charge half that.

WOW....I find it amazing how folks post here like they know what they are talking about , but in reality have no clue!!!
Airlines dont pay a parking fee per say. They lease the gates that they use. They might pay some user fees depending on any agrements they have established with the airport.

It's not entirely true about leasing the gates. I think thay are billed for taking up aircraft pan space and the air slot used to land/take off. Military aircraft are still billed for landing at civilian aircraft and they use no gates. They are billed a lot too, they've even had to post security on them before, as I've almost had to perform sentry duty on one jet that landed elsewhere, but the civilian guards did it for us.

Why do you ask - are you thinking of hi-jacking one or something?

My guess is that it varies
