CAA starts regulatory framework review for Heathrow expansion
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has initiated a comprehensive review of the regulatory framework for capacity expansion at Heathrow Airport. The announcement, made on July 18, 2025, outlines the scope and objectives of this review, which aims to ensure the efficient and timely delivery of expansion plans while protecting the interests of consumers [2].The CAA's review will assess the current regulatory model, consider alternative models used in other UK and international infrastructure projects, and evaluate the technical feasibility and robustness of Heathrow's expansion plans. Selina Chadha, Director of Consumers and Markets at the CAA, emphasized the significance of this review, stating that expanding capacity at Heathrow would be one of the largest capital expenditure programs in the UK. The review is intended to support sustainable expansion and deliver value for consumers [2].
The CAA has outlined a timeline for the review, with a working paper for consultation expected to be published in autumn 2025. This working paper will outline potential regulatory models and evaluation criteria. The review will align with the UK Government's timetable for updating the Airports National Policy Statement [2].
This review comes as part of the CAA's broader initiative to update the regulatory framework for economic regulation at Heathrow, alongside its work on the H8 price control review. The CAA's commitment to reviewing the regulatory framework now underscores its dedication to ensuring that Heathrow's expansion is both sustainable and beneficial for consumers [2].
