> One big problem: if an airline is bankrupt, what airport is going to give them a slot? I can tell you: no airport, because they will lose that money in bankruptcy. Likewise: what airline will land at a bankrupt airport? Again, no airline.
Why would both of these be true? Normally you don't want to sell to a bankrupt customer, or at least you don't give them credit. But you would definitely buy from a bankrupt supplier if they have something you need.
Some airports pay airlines, but mostly the cash flows the other way, so the airline should be happy to land at the bankrupt airport.
- hogFeast 7y agoNo. Airports most certainly do sell stuff to airlines. Do you think airplanes have a little refinery in the back with a million barrels of oil?
- dmurray 7y agoThat's again cash flowing from the airline to the airport, so if the airport can keep the fuel flowing, the airline should be OK landing there.
