REGULATORY RECAP

“Contracts & Commitments” framework backed by a licence from 1 April 2014.

  • Limitation on gross “core” yield from airport charges:

RPI+1.0% p.a.

  • Based on published tariff over 7 years
  • Limitation on net “blended” yield from airport charges:

RPI+0% p.a.

  • Based on published tariff less contract discounts
  • Measured over 7 year term – prices may be lower / higher

than price path in a given year

  • Represents the yield actually received by Gatwick
  • CAA price monitoring: “fair price” benchmark using

traditional RAB-based building block approach:

  • Net “blended” yield of RPI-1.6% p.a.
  • Forms part of the monitoring regime and is therefore a

benchmark, not a licence price cap

Price Service

  • Based on Q5 service quality regime, but with two additional

measures

  • Outbound baggage system performance
  • Security queues <30mins any measurement period on a day
  • Service rebates remain up to 7% of airport charges in

aggregate but no bonuses are available

Other Terms

  • Investment & consultation commitment
  • Minimum capex requirements - £100m p.a. average with no

capital expenditure triggers

  • Information commitment - no separate regulatory accounts
  • Operational and financial resilience commitments
  • No RAB
  • CAA review of operation of Commitments in second half of

2016

Contracts in place with airlines which accounted for 80% of passengers.

THE RUNWAY DEBATE

2015 2012 2013 2014

Airports Commission Created Dec: Interim report published Gatwick & Heathrow plans are shortlisted to meet capacity for 2030 Commission says a further runway may be needed by 2050 May: Submissions made to AC for Gatwick, Heathrow & Estuary options Sept: Estuary option ruled out for 2030 Nov: Commission opens a public consultation on Gatwick & Heathrow options Feb: public consultation closes May: Air Quality consultation Commission to make its recommendation to Government within weeks Post Recommendation: Government makes decision by Christmas for subsequent consultation

Airports Commission: “There is a clear case for one net additional runway in London and the South East, to come into operation by 2030… the optimal approach is to continue to invest in an airport system that caters for a range of airline business models.”
