Steven MacKinnon: "There is very little or no correlation between the operating model of an airport, public, private, and so on, and those fees that are embedded in the cost of an airfare now, facilities improvement fees and other fees. There's no correlation between the operating model of an... airport and its ownership model."show more

Right. Most US airports are municipally owned and charge airlines $5 fare fees. They lose money. Our system where airports have limited options to raise operating capital charge $45 a ticket in gate fees. McKinnon should do some homework.

this is a flat out lie, CBC fact checkers doing their job as usual lol.

No, as Canada's aiports languish at the bottom of world rankings in price competitiveness and are non-profit. But you can' t privatize without airtight regulations on the firms doing doing, as I explain here:

Hey Scott you do realize you're allowed to disagree with Carney, you must realize this is such a bad idea.

@nickyzacharias1 The fees airports charge airlines is factored into the price of tickets Private airports charge airlines more fees to maximize profit. Private airports always cost more to fly through Everything he says is total bullshit.

Are you crazy. Anyone who travels the 407 should now differently. Elbows up!

Banker King Carney is selling us out!

This is one of the biggest crocks of shit! Shame on liberals

He's a liar.

Completely false. Please do your research. There is peer reviewed literature showing the complete opposite. Australia, and Brazil are two well documented privatization example that show the correlation to higher prices and associated costs.

Airports in Europe are privately operated,

Sure. Lol

Lmao!!

Can he say it without smirking like an asshole?

Obvious lie.
