Current price control G7 extension (April 2025 to March 2029)
Information relating to the extension of Gatwick price control G7.
Gatwick Airport Limited (GAL) submitted a proposal to extend the set of commitments, which were due to expire on 31 March 2025, for a further four years. In May 2025, we decided to accept GAL’s commitments
This document sets out our final decision to accept GAL’s proposed new commitments for the four-year period from 2025/26 to 2028/29.
This document provides our Final Proposals on these matters and responds to the issues raised by stakeholders following our August 2024 Consultation, including in relation to:
- GAL’s prices and profitability;
- uncertainty around capacity expansion;
- service quality targets; and
- the scope and timing of a future review of the commitments framework.
We have also published a consultancy report from Grant Thornton (GT) alongside our document.
