Heathrow Airport’s passenger charges for the next two years could be cut by 6%, a regulator has announced.
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said it is proposing to adjust the caps on charges it previously set for 2025 and 2026 following a “re-examination” of its decision in March last year.
Charges are paid by airlines but are generally passed on to passengers in air fares.
If the proposals are implemented following a six-week consultation, average charges per passenger would be cut by around £1.52 to £23.72 in 2025, and by £1.58 to £23.70 in 2026.
This comes after the Competition and Markets Authority ordered the CAA to reconsider some aspects of its decision.
The CAA looked again at the airport’s revenues during coronavirus lockdowns, as well as the impact of its debt and pension costs.
The average charge per passenger was £31.57 in 2022 and 2023, and was forecast to be £25.43 this year.
