Airlines respond to CAA Heathrow Airport announcement – “a positive announcement that brings down the cost of using the airport for consumers”

June 28th, 2022

Commenting on the announcement today from the Civil Aviation Authority on Heathrow Airport passenger charges, Tim Alderslade, CEO of Airlines UK, the industry body representing UK-registered carriers, said:

 

“This is a positive announcement that brings down the cost of using the airport for consumers, taking into account the robust recovery we’ve seen for air travel since the pandemic. Charges are, though, still too high at Heathrow – the most expensive airport in the world – and so the CAA can and should go further to bring it into line with other European hubs. This is fundamental to the competitiveness of all of UK aviation as we emerge out of the worse crisis in its history.”
