<h2>Why are airport meals always priced? </h2>
According to a previous report by the Central Broadcasting Network, Professor Li Xiaojin of the Civil Aviation University of China said in an interview: "There are three main reasons why the price of catering at the airport is higher than that of the urban shops. First of all, in the past, people who were able to travel by plane were 'either rich or expensive', this group's ability to bear airport catering prices is relatively strong, and the high airport catering prices have since become a 'tradition'; secondly, as airplanes gradually become a popular way of travel, more and more ordinary people have begun to travel by plane, and the affordability for prices is relatively low, and the problem of airport catering prices has begun to appear; the first two points are external factors.
In the past, aviation business revenue was the main source of income for airports, and today's major airports are increasingly inclined to rely on non-aviation income such as venue leasing and car parking fees, which also drives up the operating costs of airport restaurants, which in turn drives up prices. ”
In addition, airports are generally remote, unlike the large number of shops in commercial centers in urban areas, there is a relative lack of competition in the airport area, and for-profit businesses generally tend to drive up prices. If regulation of airport catering pricing is not in place, the average consumer does not have much bargaining power.
To control the high price of airport catering, the Civil Aviation Administration has set the goal of "the same quality and the same price in the same city". It is understood that judging whether the price of catering is high or low is not only objective factors such as cost composition and market supply and demand, but also affected by the subjective feelings of groups of different income levels. At a certain price point, some people think it is too high, and some people think it is normal.
To this end, in recent years, the Civil Aviation Administration has encouraged airports to introduce brand catering enterprises, the same brand, the same product, how much the urban pricing, how much airport pricing, in order to achieve the overall reasonable price.
