Media Statement: Response to the CAA publishing consultation for a working paper on Heathrow's regulatory model

Heathrow Reimagined: A Better Hub for Britain responds to the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) publishing consultation for a working paper on Heathrow's regulatory model

A spokesperson for the Heathrow Reimagined campaign, said:

“It is now critical that expansion is delivered affordably, with a regulatory model that effectively controls Heathrow’s capital efficiency and delivers competition to improve value for money for consumers and businesses.

We welcome the Civil Aviation Authority’s finding that there is sufficient evidence to revisit Heathrow’s current regulatory framework. The regulator’s review creates a much-needed opportunity to reimagine the flawed model and deliver reform. A new approach can create a global hub fit for the future, driving economic growth. Fundamental reform is essential to ensure that costs don’t rise further, and that the benefits to UK plc are delivered in full.”
