This seems like a sensible approach for an airport that's hemorrhaging customers because it's too expensive for people to use:
Under the Traffic & Revenue Improvement Plan (TRIP) slated to effect by July 1, any existing carriers that increase the number of passengers between 5 and 20 percent could be reimbursed for various airport fees.
Currently, carriers pay more fees when they increase their traffic.
I've always thought government's approach to home and business improvement was similarly perverse. You improve your property, and your reward is to pay more in taxes? Why not give property owners a tax break if they make improvements? At least try it for a couple of years to see how the loss of tax revenue is balanced by all the work by and supplies ordered for contractors? At the very least, the appearance of the city would improve greatly.
