In indis at least, there is this "airports authority of india" which leases shops to well retailers and stuff. What they do is, they set a monthly rent and that has to be paid. So last 2 years there hasnt been any air travel but guess what, AAI demands their rent. As a result, I have seen 60+ year old shops fold because they cannot pay the rent when there is no income. Either that or they have to Jack up the prices to make up for the rent paid for the time no one was flying causing high prices.
