The House of Commons transport committee has joined airlines in calling for the break up of airports operator BAA.
The owner of Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted in addition to four other UK airports is already facing a probe by the Competition Commission.
The transport committee said: “There is room for more competition, especially between London airports. BAA airports account for such a large proportion of air travel.
“Ending BAA’s common ownership will encourage airports to compete for traffic. The committee firmly believes that increased competition is possible and could have huge benefits for both airlines and passengers.”
