Media Statement: Response to expansion proposal from Heathrow Airport Ltd.

Heathrow Reimagined: A Better Hub for Britain responds to expansion proposal from Heathrow Airport Ltd.

A spokesperson for the Heathrow Reimagined campaign, said:

“We are supportive of expansion at Heathrow, but not at any cost. Heathrow’s flawed regulatory model incentivises high passenger charges that harm consumers, businesses and economic growth. These proposals from Heathrow Airport Ltd do not sufficiently demonstrate where passengers will get value for money.

“The CAA has confirmed a review of the regulatory framework at Heathrow from the autumn and we welcome this crucial step to ensure that the UK’s only hub airport is competitive and affordable. This review must evaluate an alternative regulatory approach that brings competition and capital efficiency in time for a third runway and capacity expansion.”
