I'm seriously not business minded so serious question (no sarcasm please) but isn't this what most airlines do? Ryanair for example will squeeze what they can out of airports and tourist boards etc to pay for marketing and I'm sure they don't pay the published airport fees. Are the Spanish regions for example not subsidising through marketing payments?
