Success factors for the privatisation of airports—an airline perspective

Peter Gerber

Journal of Air Transport Management, 2002, vol. 8, issue 1, 29-36

Abstract: This article examines different approaches to airport privatisation. It shows that privatisation can only be a success when government provides a suitable regulatory framework prior to privatisation. This framework must protect the interests of the consumer and ensure the participation of airlines as primary users in the privatisation project, thus establishing a solid basis for a strong partnership between the airlines and the airport. To accomplish this, the monopoly income of an airport should be subject of a price cap mechanism following the single till principle, best being set up in cooperation with the airlines and controlled by an independent regulator.
