Airport Economic Regulation

Airport economic regulation involves government oversight to ensure that airport charges—like landing fees and passenger service costs—are fair and reasonable. This regulation aims to promote competition, prevent monopolistic practices, and ensure airports maintain quality services without exploiting their market power. Regulators analyze airport finances, set fair price caps, and monitor performance to balance airlines' and passengers' interests. The goal is to create a stable, efficient airport system that encourages investment while keeping costs reasonable for users.
