I am sorry but is it not niaive to think they would even consider increasing landing fee's 7 fold. Just lazy journalism again to stir up trouble.
Absolutely.
Even if there was going to be an increase in landing fees, there is a good case to be made for the government providing the basic infrastructure, upon which private enterprise creates the airport, to make the project 'cheaper' to the end user.
The government does this with motorways and rail (in return for certain fees), so why not air travel too? Remember the government could, if it put uts 'greater good' specs on, look at a payback time of 50 - 100 years, rather than a standard business plan of 10 years. It would ba absurd to build a world-class facility, and then price it out of the market.
