The Competition Commission has published a statement of the issues that it will be looking at as it examines the pricing plans put forward by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for Stansted Airport.
The pricing plan will govern how much BAA can charge airlines during the five-year period beginning April 2009. The issues include the degree of competition for airport services, the appropriate framework for the price control, the detailed structure of the price control formula, and public interest issues.
The Commission will report and make its recommendations on both prices and any public interest considerations to the CAA no later than October 28. The price review for Stansted Airport is separate from the Commission's ongoing market investigation into BAA airports. |
