The Chief Executive of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) wrote to the Permanent Secretary of the Department for Transport (30 April 2018) to outline the regulator’s confidence in the delivery of the proposed north-west runway scheme at Heathrow Airport, subject to the proposed Airports National Policy being designated.

In response the Permanent Secretary wrote to the Chief Executive of the CAA (21 June 2018) outlining the department’s confidence in the regulator to ensure the timely delivery of expansion at Heathrow in the best interest of the consumer.

This exchange of letters references a previous CAA letter, ‘Economic regulation and expansion of airport capacity’. This was sent ahead of the government’s preference decision in 2016 and is also published here.
