A report by the airlines group Airlines for Australia and New Zealand (A4ANZ) released today argues that Australian passengers and the economy are losing out to monopoly airports.
Australian passengers are paying the price of airport privatisation in the absence of appropriate constraints on monopoly power, according to the report. The report includes analysis provided by Frontier Economics. The analysis assessed various measures of medium to longer-term returns of Australia’s four main airports.
