It seems to be coming more and more apparent to many of us on here that MAG is starting to become more like the Trafford Centre than Changi. But what is the aim of a business? To please it's stakeholders and MAG looks like it wants to please it's financial stakeholders more so than any other.
Its main aim as a business is to make money and if the airport is gaining more and more shops, surely their main aim is to attract more passengers to spend in their shops.
I know people say that by attracting locos they are attracting low spenders but surely, as we see that easyJet are to carry 650,000 people this summer - these are more likely to spend more money than the number of passengers, say QR carry every year.
So as a business more locos is good for business but for the public and the passengers travelling through it is less so.
What people think - is this the plan of MAG or is it just a general, global transition being made at many ex-legacy airports?
