Lease agreements set to loosen airline control
Article Abstract:
Lease agreements between airports and carriers indicate conflicting issues over control of landside facilities, yearly budgets, capital investment decisions and gates. In the US, for instance, short-term lease agreements that average five to seven years are replacing long-term leases that last three decades or more. The Majority In Interest clause, which gives carriers the right of veto concerning airport capital investment programs, is among the conventional clauses that are currently being eliminated by airports.
