A couple of years ago, flying into ZRH (Zurich, Switzerland), just the day after the landing fees increased once more, the following conversation took place while on hold between a Cessna 172 on final and the controller. It was a busy day with lots of commercial traffic.
Controller: “Cleared to land runway 28; winds calm, please expedite and can you make it a short landing to the first exit?”
Cessna: “Negative, we pay for the whole runway, we use the whole runway!”
