What is the mechanism whereby Heathrow's incumbent airlines are able to exercise a veto over new entrant carriers
Thank you for your enquiry, however we shall be restricting our detailed evidence until our submission to the Davies Commission.
However let me ask you to consider whether you (and others) would support a LHR R3 if it was to be a no-frills operation built and operated by EasyJet or Ryanair ? A short runway and short haul fights is what these two airlines specialise in and would be ideal in providing the regional connectivity that has disappeared from LHR as the big beasts have withdrawn these links.
