In October 2021, the CAA confirmed the airport had requested to increase its passenger charges – the fee it charges airlines, per passenger, to use the airport – from £22 to between £32 (45%) and £43 (95%).
Heathrow’s airlines, by comparison, suggested the charge should be no more than £18.50 on average.
