Abstract

Abstract. In the article we can see the problematic and undetermined issues on regulating
the activities of natural monopoly entities in airports. This article describes the principles of state
regulation of natural monopolies. The article proved the necessity of the regulation system improvement
concerning the activity of natural monopolies subjects in airports.
The work conclusion is the following: the world practice testifies that in different countries
the problem of airports’ adjustment and management is variously settled, and any economically
developed country has its own strategy regarding the development of ground handling, which
is reflected in legislative and normatively legal adjusting, but there are also some general tendencies.
It is accented, that in some countries in the part of airports’ ground handling, normatively
legal adjusting is assumed by the grant of undiscriminatory access to fuel-filling services of airports’
complex. In part of other ground handling types the access restriction is not regulated,
the development of competition is normatively not stimulated. There is only resolving the issues
with competition in fact of antimonopoly law violation. Separate countries with the developed
economy went on other way. In such countries legislation and normatively legal base stimulate
the development of competition concerned the airports’ ground handling.
