Colin Matthews, Chief Executive Officer of Heathrow, said:
"Strong passenger satisfaction and passenger numbers have driven strong growth in cash flows, funding current investment of almost £4 million a day in improving the airport for passengers and airlines. But progress is jeopardised by the CAA‟s final proposals for Q6, which reduce returns to below the level at which Heathrow‟s shareholders have said they are willing to invest. We are now carefully considering our investment plans before responding to the CAA."
