Aviation Policy News, quotable quotes.
“Speaking at an ACI-Europe symposium in June, Jon Phillips of the Global Infrastructure Investors Association noted that his members, which invest in a range of infrastructure, including pipelines, water, electricity distribution, and so on, as well as airports, currently have $200 billion sitting on the sidelines, waiting to invest. The GIAA experience of airport regulation is threefold: it varies considerably by country; the regulators go to a remarkably deep level of granularity reviewing and regulating so that the ability of airport managers to actually manage commercially is limited; and that generally, there is a populist focus on rates going down now instead of addressing longer-term issues.”
