Further to this line of thinking. Who pays by way of time and/or costly additional fuel burn in the event of; ‘weather’ holding, missed approaches and/or flight cancellations if over-development of on-airport infrastructure contributes to an increased prevalence of wind-shear and turbulence? Add to those costs; hotel accommodation, transport/hotel transfers, food vouchers etc. if the ‘weather related event’ results in the flight or flights diverting to another airport other than the intended destination. Who pays if due to over-development certain airport infrastructure cannot be used safely, such as some runways at certain airports during various weather conditions?
The majority of these costs are very unlikely to be absorbed by the airport operator, airport owner or airport leasing company. Why should the airlines, passengers (i.e. the public) and flight crew continue to absorb these ‘events’ with their time and at their expense?
