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%)
