Regulatory developments

15

• Civil Aviation Bill progressing through Parliament

– General duty on CAA to further interests of passengers

– Provision for derogations for pre-existing financing arrangements

• CAA undertaking assessment of airport market power

– Gatwick‟s analysis indicates it does not have “substantial market power”

– CAA‟s initial views are that each of LGW, LHR & STN have some degree of market

power and thus could be subject to economic regulation beyond the end of Q5

– CAA continuing work on market power and alternatives for economic regulation

• Beyond Q5 preparation

– Constructive Engagement with the airlines underway based on initial business plan

– Outputs of Constructive Engagement to inform the Company‟s business plan to be

submitted to CAA in early 2013

• Q5 extension year

– Gatwick and airlines defining new capital expenditures triggers for 2013/14

Conclusion

• Underlying traffic growth, slowing growth in 2012/13

• Connecting London to Asian markets for Summer 2012

• Continuous improvement in operational performance, delivering great

customer service

• Investment programme on track, transforming facilities

• Strong financial performance in 2011/12, but moderating in 2012/13 with

lower growth in traffic (+1.4%) and aeronautical yield (+1.5%)
