Media Statement: Response to the CAA’s shortlist of regulatory models for future Heathrow capacity expansion

Heathrow Reimagined: A Better Hub for Britain responds to the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)  publishing its shortlist of regulatory models for future Heathrow capacity expansion

A spokesperson for the Heathrow Reimagined campaign, said:

"We welcome the Civil Aviation Authority’s shortlist of regulatory models for future Heathrow capacity expansion. The CAA is right to identify the strong case for change, recognising Heathrow’s high charges, capital inefficiency and service quality that lags behind other airports. Only substantial reform will ensure expansion is affordable and delivers on the UK's growth ambitions."

“Heathrow Reimagined supports an alternative regulatory approach at Heathrow that is in the interests of consumers, including models that would better use competitive forces and capital efficiency controls for existing and new infrastructure. We now intend to work with the Government and the CAA on the next steps to establish a deliverable framework for both today and the future at Heathrow.”
