Q4. The airlines have started since long to limit the quantity of free baggage and charge at a higher rate for any additional quantity above the limits allowed. While this may be frustrating for us as a customer, it is a requirement for the airline company. The policy of charging passenger luggage not only ensures limited passenger baggage but also provides sufficient space to handle cargo which is a money minting exercise for the airline company. Why do you think the airlines are charging more money for heavier and odd shaped baggage? How does additional baggage affect the airline negatively apart from restricting space for cargo?

What kind of costs are primarily underestimated by the companies & why they are becoming so significant? (3+3=6 marks)
