Heathrow has hit out at the regulator accusing it of “getting it wrong” on its pricing while its airline customers such as British Airways “charge what they like” and make “huge profits” on high fares.
Its chief executive, John Holland-Kaye, said the proposed landing charges at the airport, which are set by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), would be lower than before even though airport costs had risen. “That just makes no sense,” he said.
