> There has been a continuous pressure on costs everywhere at airports, which means the airports themselves have not much flexibility on raising fees to account for increased costs, and the companies providing the services like baggage handling, refueling and whatever usually won their contracts by tender which means they are locked in as well by law.
Our governments (that all signed the Paris agreement) should be happy and seize the opportunity to let airports raise taxes, let service providers renegotiate and pay their staff more, and make low cost flights a little less cheap.
- mschuster91 4y ago> let service providers renegotiate and pay their staff more That is impossible, they cannot raise the agreed-upon rates without terminating the contract and holding a fully new tender process. Contract termination would require agreement of both parties, but no vendor would ever agree to the termination of a contract if they could not be sure to win the new tender.
