At a recent annual "stakeholder update", Melbourne Airport chief executive Chris Woodruff poked fun at airports' reputation for money-making.
Discussing the airport's new "Ring & Ride Zone", an area in which drivers can wait for an arriving passenger for up 20 minutes free of charge, Mr Woodruff purposely stumbled on the word 'free'.
"You can now wait for your arriving passengers ... you can now wait for your arriving passengers ... free, yes, free," he told a laughing crowd. "And I tell you what - running airports for 23 years, I still can't get used to saying the 'f' word."
