In response, Stephen Nelson, BAA Chief Executive Officer, said, “Taken at face value, the incentives in this opening proposal are unsatisfactory and give cause for significant concern. Uncertainty over incentives, coming at time when we face a number of major investment decisions, may directly affect the quality of the passenger experience for years to come. “We have plans to invest £9.5 billion at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted over the next 10 years to deliver new airport facilities that will result in much needed improvements for passengers travelling through our airports. We are already transforming Heathrow with our £4.2bn Terminal 5 project which will open in March 2008. But long term investment on this scale requires a consistent and supportive regulatory framework. In our view, the initial price control proposals contain an unprecedented and negative shift in this framework that could be interpreted as a reversal of the CAA’s previous policies in this area.â€� Commenting on the CAA’s recommendation to de-designate Stansted, Stephen Nelson said: “We are reserving our judgement on this recommendation until we have had the chance to review it alongside the OFT’s study of the UK airport market.â€� Media Enquiries: Lydia Pretzlik, Maitland -- Remove `spamtrapped` to reply off-list http://jim-mason.fotopic.net/ Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AirTalk.org Forum Index -> Aberdeen Airport All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Aviation----------------alt.aviationAviation safety EnhancementPlanes, gliders and flying in AustraliaAviation et pilotage (Français)rec.aviationAviation (Aerobatics)Hot air, gas balloons and airshipsHang-gliding, paragliding, foot-launched flightAircraft Design & BuildingInstrument Flight RulesAviation (Classifieds)Military AircraftNaval AviationAviation (Miscellaneous Topics)Owning AirplanesAviators (General Discussions)Aviation related productsAircraft RestorationHelicopters and rotary wing aircraftsFlight SimulationSailplanesAviation (Students)Light aircraftFlying related activities in the UK Airports----------------alt.airportsEdinburgh Airport Glasgow Airport Humberside Airport Luton Airport Aberdeen Airport Glasgow Prestwick Airport  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
