Virgin Atlantic has angrily withdrawn support for London Heathrow’s expansion.
It is no longer backing plans for a third runway.
Virgin Atlantic Chief Executive, Shai Weiss, called out the ‘abuse of power by a de facto monopolistic airport’
The airline slammed Heathrow’s proposal to increase landing charges by 120%.
Virgin wants the Civil Aviation Authorities (CAA) to urgently intervene.
“Until that happens, it is difficult to see how expansion at Heathrow can be supported.”
It would be ‘a bad deal for consumers, airlines and the UK economy’ Weiss added.
“Whilst overseas carriers can more easily absorb the increasing costs of UK flights or move their aircraft and investment elsewhere, British carriers cannot.”
