Expanding airport capacity: Competition and connectivity. The case of Gatwick and Heathrow

The International Transport Forum has published a report which examines the likely responses from airlines in all segments of the market: the local hub carrier, BA, other network airlines, short and long haul low-cost carriers and charter airlines to proposals from the Airports Commission on expanding the UK’s long-term aviation capacity. It identifies the main drivers of airline behaviour and considers the possible influence of changes to existing business models and the introduction of new types of aircraft, such as the Boeing Dreamliner and Airbus A350. The report develops six sets of responses, three following expansion of Gatwick and three following expansion of Heathrow, to test the likely evolution of the market. As the future of the highly dynamic aviation market is uncertain, it checks the resilience of each across five different scenarios of how the global aviation sector may develop in the future. The analysis maps the implications for connectivity and potential benefits to the consumer through airline competition and relieving congestion at airports and reducing the associated economic rents. This report is part of the International Transport Forum’s Country Specific Policy Analysis (CSPA) series. These are topical studies on specific transport policy issues of concern to a country carried out by ITF on request.

Stopping Heathrow Airport expansion (for now): Lessons from a victory for the politics of sufficiency

Posted on: 22 October 2014

A politics of sufficiency challenges the relentless expansion of production and consumption. It faces daunting obstacles in contemporary societies where macro-economic growth has come to be seen as imperative. However, when defined more narrowly, as a challenge to the growth of particular forms of economic activity, ideas of sufficiency have made some limited inroads. One significant example is the Conservative-led government’s cancellation of the planned third runway at Heathrow airport in Britain. This represented a major victory for environmentalists and others who argued that aviation growth conflicted with Britain’s carbon-reduction targets. The case sheds light on the conditions in which sufficiency-based policies can prevail today, notably through linkages with core political imperatives faced by states and political actors. In this case, a sufficiency approach became linked to the legitimacy needs of the Conservative Party at a key moment, while campaigners succeeded in casting doubt on claims that Heathrow expansion was economically imperative. This article appears in the latest issue of the Journal of Environmental Policy and Planning (Vol.16 Issue 4, 2014).

For the fifth year, ACI EUROPE presents its economics report on the key financial and economic characteristics of the European airport industry. The report again provides an overview of the developments in such diverse categories as revenues, costs and profitability of European airport operators. The results of the report point to an industry which has weathered the financial and economic storms of recent years, but one which has also had to adapt and change, not least in relation to operating costs and capital investment plans. The report also sheds light on the significant difference in trading conditions facing EU and non- EU airports, which, while in part a reflection of contemporary trading conditions, was also very much due to more deep-rooted structural economic differences, and as such is likely to remain a reality for some time to come.
