It is a widespread problem across Europe as you say, and the principal reason for that is the demand for low price air travel combined with the refusal of airlines to pay a proper rate for the services they need to run a public air service.

Add to that the privatisation of airports meaning another group of vested interests, shareholders, also want as much out of the businesses that further puts pressure on driving down costs.

Eventually something will have to give if the situation is to be resolved.
