It always happens. After privatization prices go up and/or service levels go down.

That's the only way for the new owner to "earn" their profits.

Privatization is a one-time win for the finances of the government of the day, and a long term burden on the people who use that service.

But some profiteer gets infrastructure for cheap that they can extract profit from.

We'll at some point subsidize or bail out these private airports, I guarantee it.
