Please I want to know, if an Airplane made an emergency landing, does the Airline company pay any fee to the Airport?

No, I don't think so, because it's an emergency.
YES they will pay fees.
The most common one is for fuel to take off and continue on their way.
Depends WHY they are landing and what services need to be provided.
Is the plane on fire? Then fire services are needed. May be a charge.
Is the plane able to take off with out repairs?
If repairs are needed the Airline pays for repairs. Do the passengers need something? Maybe a meal or a place to sleep.
It will be arranged and the Airline gets a bill.
Is it diverted for an obnoxious passenger? The Police will arrest that person for no FEE.
A medical emergency? The local medical service will respond. What they might charge depends on situation.
Do the passengers need a special clearance by Immigration/Customs?
The Airline gets a bill for the staff time required to do this. Passengers might need to wait for hours for Agents to get to the Airport.
Airlines are well aware of these possible charges and know them as the information is readily provided by Airports to the Airlines.
Depending on situation they can be charged for a parking place, the use of a gate, luggage services, mechanical services, lavatory refresh, fresh water and so on.

The flight was carrying 279 passengers and 20 crewmembers, all of whom got an unexpected 12-hour visit to Montana.
Billings does not have regular international Customs and Border Protection agents to process incoming passengers from international arrivals.CBP officials traveled to the airport from Great Falls -- about 240 miles away.
Another thing not typically on hand at the Billings airport: Kosher meals. The local community provided them.
It is reasonable to assume that the Airline offered some sort of payment to those that provided the meals.
Many airports do not charge landing fees at all- even for non-emergencies. Those that do will still charge a fee for an emergency landing, but if the situation warrants it there could be a request to have the fee waived.
Not here, genuine safety related diversionary landings (i.e. Weather / emergency related) will not attract a landing charge. No-one wants to dissuade a pilot from landing if he should, just for monetary reasons, and I suspect that's the case everywhere. There will, however, obviously be subsequent fees for repairs, fuelling, hangerage, other ground services etc.
You can't just arbitrarily declare an "emergency" to avoid paying landing fees.
- Do any airplane companies do payment plans? I'm trying to get a flight for my kid but it's hard to get the money on time with bills and whatnot so I was curious is there a payment plan i can do with certain airports like preorder and pay by the date
- Connection flight any where .will i be given free hotel rooms by the airlines or do we have to pay for it.because it a very long gap? Connection flight any where. Will i be given free hotel rooms by the airlines or do we have to pay for it. Because it a very long gap?
- Am I entitled to a refund for a medical emergency? I purchased tickets from Condor airlines (via CheapOair) last spring for a trip to Italy. The day before our departure date, I was taken to the emergency room with a bleeding ulcer (a condition I had never experienced before). While I was in intensive care unit, my wife called Condor to cancel our plane reservations for the next day. Condor then charged us a $400 cancellation fee. When a refund never arrived, I contacted them and I was told we would receive no refund.
- Airplane mechanics: why would a plane have to burn off fuel before landing? My local news just talked about a flight having to return to the airport after "mechanical issues with the nose gear", but then it said that the plane had to circle the airport for about an hour "ro burn off enough fuel for landing". I'm curiois why would it have to burn off fuel instead of just landing? Especially if it turned around for mechanical issues.
