Last week, it was reported Heathrow was keen to significantly increase its fees to recoup losses accrued during, and owing to, the Covid crisis.
The CAA on Tuesday (19 October) confirmed the airport has requested the authority raises the price cap on its per passenger charges from £22 to anywhere between £32 (45%) and £43 (95%).
However, the CAA is proposing a more modest increase on the existing £22 cap to somewhere in the range of £24.50 to £34.40.
"The CAA will work closely with Heathrow, airlines and other stakeholders to narrow this range over the next few months," said the authority.
