The UK Civil Aviation Authority has launched a consultation on the impact of long-term agreements made by Stansted Airport and its principal customers on the airport’s market power. Under the Civil Aviation Act 2012 a market power test is required as part of the process to decide whether an airport should be regulated in the future and, if so, how. The consultation sets out the CAA’s provisional view that the deals Stansted has agreed with its two principal customers change the assessment of the airport’s market power, and mean that deregulation could be appropriate. However, this provisional view is subject to consultation, and may change depending on stakeholders’ responses.
