DBRS Morningstar’s analysis shows that while airlines received significant financial aid during the height of the pandemic, airport authorities only benefited from ‘modest’ support
Canadian travellers are facing increased airport fees after the pandemic grounded revenues and led to more debt for airports across the country.
DBRS Morningstar says COVID-19 disrupted the airport sector’s “relatively stable” and resilient business model. The credit rating agency’s analysis shows that while airlines received significant financial aid during the height of the pandemic, airport authorities only benefited from “modest” support.It says operating costs and capital project expenditures are also rising due to inflation.
DBRS points to Toronto Pearson International Airport increasing its airport improvement fee by $5 to $35 for departing passengers and by $4 to $7 for connecting passengers during the pandemic as an example of higher costs to travellers.
