What Shanghai International Airport does

Operator of Shanghai Pudong International Airport, earning aeronautical fees plus duty-free and retail concession revenue.

Airlines pay aeronautical fees for each landing and passenger, set under government guidance, while the retail concession pays a share of duty-free sales, so passenger traffic and spending per traveller drive revenue. Shanghai Airport (Group), a Shanghai municipal state company, controls it.

In one line: A Chinese Aena/Fraport for airport operations.
