Intending to price out the smaller carriers?

Heard a rumour that Gatwick are trying to change the way they charge airlines to use the airport, putting all fees together, and including it in the landing fee, also heard that "Noise" of a/c will be taken into account. As a result, it will cost the same to land a Dash 8 as it will to land a 747. They want to get rid of the 50 and 70 seaters in favour of bigger aircraft per landing slot. Hope this is wrong, sounds like Heathrow all over again
