A Week at the Airport: A Heathrow Diary
From the bestselling writer of The artwork of trip comes a wittily fascinating exploration of the unusual "non-place" that he believes is the inventive middle of our civilization.
Given exceptional entry to at least one of the world's busiest airports as a "writer-in-residence," Alain de Botton came across it to be a show off for plenty of of the main crosscurrents of the fashionable world--from our religion in know-how to our destruction of nature, from our international interconnectedness to our romanticizing of the unique. He met tourists from everywhere and spoke with all people from luggage handlers to pilots to the airport chaplain. Weaving jointly those conversations and his personal observations--of every thing from the poetry of room carrier menus to the eerie silence in the course of the runway at midnight--de Botton has produced a rare meditation on a spot that almost all folks by no means decelerate adequate to work out truly. Lavishly illustrated in colour by means of popular photographer Richard Baker, every week on the Airport finds the airport in all its turbulence and soullessness and--yes--even beauty.

Example text
Some airlines hold shares in airports or directly control airport facilities. For example, Terminal 2 of Munich Airport is a joint investment by the airport operating company, FMG (60%) and Lufthansa (40%), the dominant airline at the airport. Lufthansa has also invested in Frankfurt Airport, and holds a 29% share of Shanghai Pudong International Airport Cargo Terminal. By 2006, Thai Airways had invested over US$400 million at the new Bangkok International Airport19. Long-term usage contract.
We then examine how airport services and business strategies influence competition in the downstream airline market, and the interactive effects between airline-airport vertical relations and the horizontal competition in airline and airport markets. The paper is organised as follows. In Section 2, we study the revenue structure of airports, and its interactive effects with the regulatory regime. This allows us to study airport pricing and services to airlines which affect airline performance. Section 3 discusses sources of airport market power, and how such market power is affected by the types of airlines using the airport, as well as by the airline and airport market structures.
Such airport dominance allows an airline to obtain a substantial hub premium. On the other hand, co-operation between a hub airport and the dominant carrier may enhance the competition between airline networks formed by different airport-dominant carrier combinations. In other words, airport-airline co-ordination or alliance is a double-edged sword for downstream airline competition: there is a need for careful further examination on the issue in order to design an effective regulatory oversight.
