Heathrow airport ordered to cut passenger charges each year until 2026

Airlines will benefit but airport warns it will result in worse experience' for travellers

London's Heathrow airport has been ordered to reduce its landing charges over the next four years, a proposal that will please airlines while the airport said it would result in a worse experience for passengers.

The move by the Civil Aviation Authority deals a blow to the airport, which had argued for higher fees to help protect customer service, at a time when the travel industry is recovering from the pandemic.
