TORONTO (Reuters) - Toronto's Pearson International Airport has been billed the world's most costly place to land a airplane according to the annual Air Transport Research Society survey released on Tuesday.

Pearson, Canada's busiest airport, charged $10,986 for airlines to land a Boeing 747 aircraft last year, which is 45.5 percent ahead of the cost to land at Osaka's Kansai airport, which had the second highest landing fees.

Tokyo's Narita airport was third with landing fees of $7,400, while Birmingham, England, finished fourth with landing fees of $7,013.

Landing fees at Toronto were also more than double the $5,031 charged at New York's LaGuardia, which was the second most expensive airport to land at in North America.

The report marked the first time in five annual surveys that Toronto's airport occupied the top spot after finishing runner-up to Narita in the previous two surveys.

The study, which surveyed 134 airports internationally, also said Pearson charged the most to land an Airbus 320, with landing fees of $2,033, topping No. 2 Kansai by 32 percent.

Wouldn't have expected BHX there really.
