Fubotv earnings beat by $0.10, revenue topped estimates
LONDON - The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced on Friday it has begun a review of the regulatory framework governing Heathrow Airport’s proposed capacity expansion, one of the largest planned infrastructure projects in Britain.
The review will examine how to ensure efficient delivery of expansion plans while protecting consumer interests, according to a statement from the regulator. It will assess the current regulatory model, explore alternative approaches, and evaluate the technical feasibility of capacity expansion plans.
"Expanding capacity at Heathrow airport would be one of the largest capital expenditure programmes in the UK," said Selina Chadha, Director of Consumers and Markets at the CAA. "We are committed to reviewing the regulatory framework now so that it best supports the efficient delivery of sustainable expansion and delivers value for consumers."
The CAA first signaled its intention to conduct this review in March through a letter to industry stakeholders. The regulator plans to publish a working paper for consultation in autumn 2025 that will outline potential regulatory models and evaluation criteria.
The review will align with the UK Government’s timetable for updating the Airports National Policy Statement, according to the press release statement.
The CAA’s review will include an assessment of different regulatory models used for other UK and international infrastructure projects as part of its evaluation process.
