  • The recovery of costs associated with obtaining planning permission for a new northwest third runway at Heathrow Airport: final proposals

    On 25 October 2016, the government announced that it was in favour of a new runway and associated infrastructure at Heathrow. In light of this announcement, we propose to consult on our final proposals on the regulatory treatment of the costs associated with Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) seeking to obtain planning permission for the development of a new northwest third runway at Heathrow Airport. These are termed Category B costs (or planning costs). This consultation invites representations... More

  • Notice of proposed modification to Heathrow Airport Limited’s Economic Licence to allow for an annual recovery of £10 million of Category B costs for a new northwest runway

    On 25 October 2016, the government announced that it was in favour of a new runway and associated infrastructure at Heathrow. In light of this announcement, we propose to modify the economic licence of Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL), so as to allow HAL to recover up to £10 million per annum of costs associated with obtaining planning permission for runway expansion (i.e. Category B costs). This document invites representations on this proposal. More

  • Gyroplane licensing

    This document for consultation is the latest revision of the CAA’s Standards Document for the licensing of Gyroplane pilots. As well as having been thoroughly reviewed to modernise and update existing content, it now reflects the training requirements for the new CPL (Gyroplanes), night rating and associated requirements for instructors. Updates to reflect the new Air Navigation Order 2016 (which replaced the ANO 2009) have also been made. We believe this standards document represents... More

  • Notice of proposed modification to Heathrow Airport Limited’s economic licence to extend the current price control by one year

    In March 2016, we launched a review (known as the H7 review) of the price control and associated arrangements that would apply to Heathrow Airport when the current control (Q6) expires at the end of 2018. We published a discussion document and undertook a series of industry workshops and seminars at which we sought views of interested parties on the process, strategic themes and relevant issues for the H7 review.

  • Review of the Framework for the competence of rescue and fire fighting service (RFFS) personnel

    Following a comprehensive review of CAP699 - Framework for the competence of rescue and fire fighting service personnel - we are carrying out a short consultation, seeking views from industry by sharing CAP699 as a draft. We previously consulted with Industry following changes to RFFS training brought about by the introduction of EU Aerodrome Regulation (Commission Regulation (EU) No. 139/2014) communicated in IN-2014/133. This showed a strong desire by Industry to retain CAP699 as... More

  • The recovery of costs associated with obtaining planning permission for new runway capacity: initial proposals

    This document sets out for consultation the CAA’s initial proposals on the regulatory treatment of the costs associated with Gatwick Airport Limited or Heathrow Airport Limited obtaining planning permission for the development of new runway capacity. The charges that both airport operators can levy on airlines are subject to economic regulation under the terms of a licence granted by the CAA under the Civil Aviation Act 2012. These initial proposals have been developed in a way that... More

  • Proposal to extend by one year the current price control on Heathrow Airport Limited

    This consultation sets out our proposal to extend the current price control (Q6) on Heathrow Airport Limited by one year, so that it expires at the end of 2019 rather than the end of 2018. Our current view is that an extension by one year (Q6+1) would be in the interests of users on the basis that it will reduce the risk that the H7 process is sub-optimal due to runway uncertainty and lower levels of industry engagement. We propose the extension should be implemented by a rollover of the... More

  • H7 Consumer Challenge Forum

    The current regulatory controls on the charges and services that Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) offers to airlines, and, ultimately, to consumers are due to expire on 31 December 2018. The CAA has therefore launched a review (called ‘H7’) of the appropriate regulatory arrangements that should be put in place after that date. To initiate this review, we published a discussion document in March 2016 seeking views from all interested parties on the process, strategic themes,... More

  • Operating resilience of the UK's aviation infrastructure

The Airports Commission delivered its final report and recommendations on the location of new UK runway capacity to the Government in July 2015. The Government has announced that it will make its decision... More
