I wonder if Swire owns the company that will charge CX?

The first sentence of the article provides a nice insight into the underlying mentality...:

The world’s most profitable airport, which has just announced it made record annual gains, is to introduce a fee for each piece of baggage unloaded from planes onto conveyor belts

Or what happens when you privatize public utility and service companies, especially those that do not have any competition.

Profits and shareholders before users and employees... always.
