Debate
Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [HL]Contribution
It is consulting on four potential models. Two of them are, if you like, incremental changes. “Enhances the existing framework” is the first one. The second one looks at a longer-term price control method. The two others are a bit more radical. One is looking at competitive delivery of the infrastructure, and the final one is on alternative developers. That is where you could potentially have, for example, a terminal being built and operated by another company in competition with Heathrow Airport Ltd at Heathrow. Obviously, the point of the competition is to drive down the costs of delivering those services to the airport’s customers, which are the airlines, and by reducing the cost to the airlines, you enable the airlines to reduce the costs to passengers.
