Carriers currently pay on average £22 per passenger. Heathrow asked for an increase of up to £43 per passenger over the next five years, saying Covid-19 had severely hit the number of passengers using the terminals without defraying the airport’s necessary multi-billion pound running and investment costs. The CAA has come down between the two, setting a range of roughly £25 to £35, with next year’s per passenger charge set at £30.
