All the evidence shows that Gatwick is a monopoly airport and therefore should continue to be regulated.
Without regulation passengers face the risk of higher fares.
easyJet can see no justification for the RPI +1.5% increase in charges proposed by Gatwick Airport today.
easyJet and the other leading airlines at Gatwick (the Airport Consultative Committee) believe that passengers should see real term decreases in charges and are submitting a response to the CAA recommending that charges be subject to at least RPI minus 7.5% over the next five year regulatory period.
