great, there can be infinitely many airports and flights to a particular airport rarely have inelastic demand, so naturally this is a thing that should be privatized.
It's also the duty of an airport to maximize the amount of time a traveler spends in it to incur the most opportunities for profit. Imagine if one corporation owned the hotels nearby, you could cancel or delay flights and collect on those overnight travellers
