Heathrow to Raise Fees for Passengers | London News
Description
Heathrow Airport is set to hike passenger charges to recoup £320 million spent on early-stage work for its third runway — and yes, those costs will likely trickle down to your ticket prices. Even the rival Heathrow West proposal gets a small reimbursement. The CAA says safeguards are in place, including capped fare increases of up to 30p by 2029, plus transparency rules and expert oversight to protect travelers. This move follows the government’s 2023 decision to back Heathrow’s £33 billion expansion over the alternative plan — balancing progress with consumer protection.
