Airlines paying fees amounts to RENT, not ownership for LOCAL government owned airports. You obviously cannot decipher between tenant and owner.Considering that I just explained this to you, maybe you should avoid accusing me of not understanding it. Government owned airports do NOT pay property taxes. But they also don't provide free services to airlines. Airlines don't own the airports, so they don't pay tax— but they do pay rent. Either way, they're paying. The government doesn't receive property tax from itself— but it does receive rent. Either way, they're getting money in. And those fees do NOT amount to support of the air traffic control system. which is partially funded by the air ticket tax. So when the government levies a tax on railroad tickets, it's a conspiracy to destroy the railroads. And when the government levies a tax on airline tickets, it's a subsidy to support the airlines. Gotcha. The airlines contribute NOTHING. Well, except the rent they pay. You know, landing fees and all that? |
