Just curious: Why, in a country far more socialist-leaning than the
U.S,, do you think the airports developed into non-municipal
entities?

I know! I know!
Because the socialized systems didn't work and the government entities
were so far into the red and inept, they accepted buyouts to appease the
public outcry.

Unlike the US-style of outsourcing, of giving up the goods to profiteers
who charge high prices, reduce service, and pay the chief executives
high salaries and benefits.

The backlash to the outsourcing of government functions is about to come
to a head. The US people are going to punish the politicians as soon as
they learn that the US military is so cripled that it cannot operate
without independently of private contractors. The first reports of
contractors abandoning their dead employees in the Middle East are
starting to make it into the mainstream press.

I am not normally one to rant about the government, but when the
military cannot feed itself in the field, things have gone to far. The
aborted no-bid tanker leasing program with Boeing is another example of
how bad things have gotten. The corruption of the US government is
depressing. An not one candidate for state or federal office has what it
takes to put a stop to it.

Rant off.
