Matt Yglesias has a great
idea on how to handle the brouhaha over private corporate jets. Ground 'em with capitalism.
Mark Kleiman reminds us that there’s actually something perfectly sensible we could do about it—charge market rates for runway slots.
Wow... What an awesome idea. Charge the private jets the
actual costs associated with using a large airport runway. Same rate they charge the carriers
at the time.
In essence, it would create incentives for the runway slots at peak-demand times to be filled with large-capacity planes meaning that more customers could travel during the aforementioned peak demand times.
Cool idea!
