Maybe I'll ask Ms. Pasher about affordability, because often what we hear from the airports is the need for government investment in infrastructure, and I certainly understand those concerns.
This committee has supported a recommendation to reinvest the rent that airports currently pay to the federal government into airport infrastructure to help make their operations more viable and more sustainable. However, the question in my mind is how those investments get passed along to passengers in terms of greater affordability. My experience in a rural region is that when a carrier has a monopoly, they seem to charge passengers pretty much the maximum people are willing to pay for the flights.
How do we ensure that when we invest in airports and reduce the cost of operation for airlines, those savings get passed along to customers through more affordable airfares?
