Flybe slams Gatwick hike
Tuesday 18th March 2008, 12:45PM GMT.
FLYING to Gatwick could be about to get more expensive.
Flybe is calling for owner BAA’s monopoly to be broken up following its decision to increase landing charges at the airport by 21.3%. ‘Unless airlines are prepared to swallow the increase, the cost will have to be passed to passengers,’ said Flybe chief commercial officer Mike Rutter.
‘But we are trying to avoid this by calling for what we consider to be a ludicrous decision to be reversed.’ Passing on the cost would mean a single fare going up by £2. Flybe also wants the UK Government to replace the Civil Aviation Authority as regulator after it sanctioned the price hike.
