Abstract (EN): Airports and airlines have been increasingly establishing vertical contracts, with important implications for policy issues, namely for regulation and price discrimination legislation. In this paper we develop a model that analyses the effects of three types of vertical contracts, regarding welfare, pro-competitiveness and the scope for regulation. We find that two types of contracts are anti-competitive, and that in all of them consumers are better-off, though within some conditions. We also conclude that regulation may improve welfare depending on the type of contract and that price capping has different effects according to the facility the price of which is capped.
