Letter: Airports answer
The reality is that airports have not been under the control of the government since the 1980s privatisation. It is farcical to suggest that any other private company owning Edinburgh or Heathrow airport would do anything other than try to make a profit as well.
Passengers like Mr Crosby want cheaper flights, which means airlines demand lower aircraft landing charges, which means airports have to continually lower their costs.
