摘要

Britain's airports are in need of an overhaul to catch up with significant changes in aviation over the past decade. The rise of the low-cost airline has not just made its presence felt in passengers' wallets; the budget carriers have driven a hard bargain with airports by talking down the sums they pay in landing and parking fees for their planes. As a result, airports need to get more money out of passengers by providing more shops and food outlets in terminals.
