Sydney Airport Accused Of Squeezing airlines' wallets

I choose this story because Sydney is the one main of destinations that passengers from all around the world visit by.It is a large airport, so there are over million thousand people used the service from Sydney airport every day.However, it seems that Sydney airport's fees has become expensive than previous.

In this news , it tell us about Many passengers have complains about airline's fare charges that it is very excessive charges.International Air Transport Association chief executive Mr. Giovanni Bisignani told in Sydney yesterday that tougher rules should be apply on the excursive airport such as Sydney to create the fairness for airlines and their passengers. In the past, Sydney airport was the one of world's costliest airport , but now it moved from 34 th place to ninth. According to rise the fees in Sydney Airport, The airline's passengers have the anger that they are forced to a lot of money while they also continue to purchase an expensive fees on everything from car park to coffee.
Mr.Bisignani declared to the guests at National Aviation Press Club lunch that Sydney Airport's pre-tax gaining margin 82 per cent in 2009 while another airlines worldwide lost about $10 billion. Mr.Bisignani said "We need profitable airline partners.However, they must be effectively regulated so that they do not abuse their monopolistic position."
Macquarie business MAp showed the half-year results yesterday which presented the majority-owned Sydney Airport added pre-tax profit 12.5 per cent to $ 180 million.
The IATA boss , on behalf of the airline who fly to Sydney, he will discuss the subject about cutting the airport charges with Sydney Airport chairman Max Moore-Wilton this week.
Lastly, Mr. Bisignani said a new or second Sydney airport was critically necessary for supporting of the New South Walse economy.
To sum up, I personally think that Sydney airport should stay the same rate as it was in the past. Otherwise, the passengers wouldn't like to visit the Airport because cost of everything at Sydney airport is really expensive. They might find an alternative airport which is cost cheaper than Sydney airport.
