The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) also confirmed in April 2018 that there are credible scenarios in which landing charges could remain close to 2016 levels in real terms.</p><p>As the scheme design and regulatory framework continue to develop, the CAA will scrutinise all proposals for expansion to ensure that, in line with its primary duty, they are in the best interest of the consumer.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/11/2018 answer text <p>The violence in the Anglophone regions has been generated as a result of perceived marginalisation of the Anglophone minority.
