I don't think this goes deep enough. The company ultimately putting the squeeze on is the company that makes the in-flight snack food. This company has raised prices consistently since 1960, and these price hikes are being passed on to consumers, by way of airlines demanding that airports take a smaller cut. If you want to look for blame, look there.

Show me an industry that hasn't raised prices since the 60s.

How can that be possible? The in flight snack company is in a highly competitive business -- airlines could buy store brand private label snacks.

I think GP is referring to the stores in the airports post-security that sell take-away food intended to be consumed on the plane - e.g. Hudson News, etc.
