How are airports (publicly subsidized in many cases) not subject to any kind of monopoly laws/comsumer protections? Fixed prices across board for water/soda/gum ect… One company in many cases has exclusive contracts.

Every airport I’ve been to had multiple stores selling water and soda. Hell one in Japan had a vending machine that sold both cheaper than my local grocery store.

The prices are high because all of the stores have to pay the same high rent to be there.

Gum and everything else you can bring from home or any shop between home and the airport.
