Privatizing Airports in Washington, D.C.

Abstract

In this paper, I assert that the country as whole, and the D.C. area in particular, would be better off if the federal government were to sell its airports and leave their operation to individual discretion, with no interference whatsoever. I'm going to support that assertion in two ways: first, I'll go over the conditions under which it would be appropriate for the federal government to administer airports and show that those conditions do not exist in the District of Columbia. Then, I'll compare the existing arrangement with what would happen of the airports were privately operated. (Author)
