ACSA says it's only fair after investors stumped up to fund R17-billion worth of capital expansion, and "we must reward investors". They're also saying airlines are unfairly hiding hefty fuel surcharges under 'airport taxes', which dupes travellers into thinking they're being fleeced by ACSA. Comair, on the other hand, is saying that ACSA's managed its finances badly, shouldn't be granted the steep increase, and that if it's given it will stifle the domestic travel market. Fair point, but one also gets the feeling Comair is playing a slightly political game, given that ACSA doesn't seem to want to sell it the soon-to-be-defunct Durban Airport. It's a complex issue which is fraught with agendas and arguments. The best I can offer is for you to read the two stories and decide for yourself: Comair lashes out at 133% hike, and ACSA's rebuttal.
