Cybercrime is usually defined as unauthorized system access.
How is running a free WiFi AP a crime?
Because you are stealing peoples data and credentials.
So the airline is also comitting a crime?
They aren't stealing login data to my knowledge
So is it login data specifically or just data, because I'm pretty sure the airline is in fact storing and using customer data.
