It’s not often that commercial terms being offered are leaked into public domain, as in the tweet above.
not being from the aviation industry, my questions arising would be:
- is this a potential distortion of the market by virtue of scale?
- is it in the long term public interest?
- do such changes fall to the CAA to rule on?
Does this point to a consolidation in the industry, with a smaller number of large airports surviving post Covid?
That quote is incorrectly attributed to S.P.D. Travels. It was a comment directed to him by someone else on twitter.
