CAA Response to the Airports Commission’s Inner Thames Estuary study outputs

The CAA welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Airports Commission’s consultation on the Inner Thames Estuary airport study outputs.
As the UK’s specialist aviation regulator, the CAA has significant relevant expertise in areas that are key to the Airports Commission’s work. In relation to the Inner Thames Estuary airport study outputs, this includes safety oversight and the economic regulation of those airports it judges to have significant market power (currently Heathrow and Gatwick airports).
