easyJet supports the Government’s decision in favour of expansion at Heathrow Airport as this will provide the greatest passenger and economic benefits for the UK.

easyJet supports the Government’s decision in favour of expansion at Heathrow Airport as this will provide the greatest passenger and economic benefits for the UK.  Expanding Heathrow will benefit all parts of the UK and all passengers – business and leisure, long and short haul – and will also deliver lower fares for short haul passengers by opening up the airport to increased competition.

Carolyn McCall, CEO of easyJet, commented on the decision: 

This is good news for UK consumers and businesses and will help ensure that the UK is better connected to the rest of the world.

 

With the right charging structure and the right infrastructure for our efficient model, easyJet plans to operate from Heathrow, in addition to our existing London bases, providing new routes and lower fares to customers.
