We have powers under the Civil Aviation Act 2012 for the economic regulation of airport operators that pass the market power test in the Act. In February 2014 we granted a licence to Gatwick Airport Limited (GAL). The licence includes commitments that GAL gave on airport charges for the period 1 April 2014 to 31 March 2021.

The licence, an operator determination, our notice granting the licence and supporting documentation, and documents relating to our licensing of GAL are below:

Modifications to the licence

Licence conditions can be modified in two ways:

  • using a statutory process to modify set out in the Civil Aviation Act 2012
  • using a self-modification process in which GAL and its airline community can modify certain specified parts of its commitments
