Airtravel is very much a secondary function of Airports nowadays.
The prime object is to get as many people as they can into the shopping centre and keep them there as long as possible, be they pax, friends of pax or anyone with money to spend.
Delays mean more money and the shops get bigger to cater for this.
The new terminal at LPL is a purpose built shopping centre and MAN is trying to catch up.
