Airlines call for ‘fundamental’ reform of charges before Heathrow expansion Airlines using Heathrow Airport are calling for “urgent and fundamental” reform of its charges as they expect passengers to be hit by a further rise in costs to pay for a third runway.
The bosses of British Airways’ parent company IAG and Virgin Atlantic urged regulator the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to prevent passengers and airlines being “locked into higher charges for decades to come”.
Their plea was also supported by Surinder Arora, who owns a number of hotels serving the west London airport, and Heathrow AOC, which represents airlines using the hub.
This collective call is born out of the spiralling costs at the airport, which are being shouldered by customers and airlines alike.
