I don’t think this would be a good idea, given we’d likely bundle the sale, but the argument tshe expert gives are 1) we might get into a war and need airports to move troops, 2) if we want to trade we’d want to use airports and 3) there is uncertainty in aviation so what private operators would jump into that? Has this expert looked at what happened in other countries that privatized airports? These are not big problems, and there are fairly obvious solutions. I hope there are some better experts out there to oppose this because if this is the opposition then this privatization is happening.
