CAA approves increase to £30.19 per passenger, angering airlines and airport, which called for more
Flying into Heathrow is likely to cost passengers more from January, after the UK regulator approved a 37% hike in landing charges at the country’s busiest airport.
The Civil Aviation Authority has approved an interim rise from £22 to £30.19 a passenger. But the move has failed to appease either airlines – which have condemned the increase – or the airport, which was calling for even higher charges ranging from £32 to £43 to help recoup losses caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
