Written Answers
Aviation: Fees and Charges Asked by: Lord Watts (Labour - Life peer) Thursday 26th June 2025 Question to the Department for Transport: To ask His Majesty's Government whether they plan to ask the Civil Aviation Authority to review whether charges at airports and on flights, such as excess baggage fees, are fair. Answered by Lord Hendy of Richmond Hill - Minister of State (Department for Transport) The CAA is independently responsible for regulating airport charges within the overall legislative framework for economic regulation set out in the Civil Aviation Act 2012. Regulation is based on an assessment of an airport’s market power with the purpose of protecting the consumer. Currently two airports meet this market power test - Heathrow and Gatwick - with regulatory arrangements in place for both. The CAA does not hold statutory competition functions in relation to airline markets: these are held by the Competition and Markets Authority.
