When that happens, the game just doesnt become realistic. Maybe instead of one airline getting all of the gates, the gates will be auctioned instead. Whenever a new bidder with higher price for the gate comes, the airlines will fight for the gate, and there will be no discount for owning many gates. This will prevent large airlines taking all of the gates, since they will have to pay for all of the gates for a very pricey cost. The new bidder can bid a higher price than the highest one, and the airlines from the highest bidding price will choose the number of gates, if that makes sense.
This would be good if a gate becomes available, not if an airline is already using it. it could work like the aircraft second hand market does, list out available gates and associated costs etc.
