Does anyone know of an article on how/why this happens?
The airport is the most interesting situation because it's the most unavoidable monopoly.
If you have really bad food, it might be bad enough that I decide it's not worth going to the stadium - this is theoretically bad for the stadium.
I doubt many people are going to not fly because the food in the airport sucks. They'll just pack snacks. The airport doesn't really care.
- galaxyLogic 5y agoThe question is why was a single company granted the contract for all food in a given airport? Why not have multiple providers? A monopoly like this smells like corruption to me.
- dagw 5y agoWhy not have multiple providers? Why would the airport want to deal with a dozen small providers, a third of which will no doubt drop out on any given year? Far easier to hand it off to one provider, let them deal with everything, and focus their energy on more important parts of their business. Also in many places one company will own or operate several airports. I'd assume having the same company provide restaurant services across all their airports just makes life easier.
