What does a low-cost airport look like
What if instead you looked at how you could take all the "frills" out of a terminal.
What if you took Stanstead and you repackaged it to meet the minimum need and then added the frills that pay for themselves.
What if an airport was run by the airlines and not by entrepreneurs.
What if an airport was run by a user group (e.g. passengers).
MOL may be agressive but he does focus on leaving cash in my pocket.
I suggest the real issue is that when you do the above (except user ownership) you find that it has been done and the rest is pure profit at our collective expense.
That said, someone took the "risk" of building the airport.
