Stansted Airport charges remain in control of the CAA

Transport Secretary, Ruth Kelly, has published decisions on whether Stansted and Manchester Airports will continue to have their charges regulated by the independent regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Stansted will continue to have the maximum level of its charges set by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). The Government believes that this remains the best way of protecting passengers who use the airport. Manchester will be de-designated so that it will be able to set its own charges.
