The Secretary of State set out a clear ambition in 2016 for airport charges to remain as close as possible to current levels.<\/p>
<\/p>
In the context of expansion, the Civil Aviation Authority will determine an appropriate level of airport charges in line with its statutory duty to further the interest of consumers. The CAA set out in its April consultation that there are credible scenarios in which expansion can be delivered affordably and financeably with airport charges remaining close to current levels \u2013 in line with the Secretary of State\u2019s ambition.<\/p>
<\/p>
Separately, Heathrow have also set out potential scheme savings of up to £2.5 billion and confirmed they are confident they can deliver the Secretary of State\u2019s ambition.<\/p>
<\/p>
Both the Government and the Airport Commission undertook sensitivity analysis which showed that even if airport charges did rise this would not materially affect the case for expansion.<\/p>
<\/p>
By contrast, the Government is absolutely clear of the effect of not taking forward expansion; doing nothing could cost around £21 - £23 billion to passengers and around £30 - £45 billion to the wider economy over 60 years.<\/p>"}

A Northwest Runway at Heathrow will improve the UK\u2019s connectivity, with more frequent services to important destinations around the world, providing benefits for passengers and freight-operators across the UK. While Heathrow expansion will help to secure the UK\u2019s status as a global aviation hub, we will also see airports across the country continuing to develop their point-to-point networks.<\/p>
<\/p>
The table referred to shows that passenger numbers at airports outside of London are expected to increase by 80 per cent between 2016 and 2050 with a third runway at Heathrow, with the equivalent increase in flights being 71 per cent. The Government recognises that all three schemes for expansion in the South East are projected to result in regional airports experiencing lower growth in flights than they would have otherwise seen without expansion, but there is still expected to be strong growth at non-London airports relative to today.<\/p>
<\/p>
Crucially, the Department\u2019s forecasts do not take into account the ability of the scheme promoter and Government to strengthen specific routes, or other measures to enhance regional connectivity. In addition, the modelling does not take account of future commercial strategies that individual airports could employ to take advantage of the opportunities from both growing demand outside of London and the greater connections offered by an expanded Heathrow. Therefore, it is not surprising that Heathrow expansion is supported by a range of UK airports across all parts of the country, including Liverpool-John Lennon, Glasgow and Newquay.<\/p>"}

The Government is clear that the Northwest Runway scheme at Heathrow will be financed by the private sector without Government support. In the event that Heathrow Airport Limited were unable to finance its scheme, there would be no default cost to Government.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Government and its advisers have undertaken considerable assurance work on the financial viability of Heathrow Airport Limited's scheme. Given the transformative nature of the scheme, there will almost certainly be various risks and challenges that will need to be addressed as the scheme design and regulatory framework are developed. The Government has concluded that, so far as can be assessed at this early stage of the process, in current market conditions Heathrow Airport Limited appears in principle to be able to finance expansion privately and without Government support.<\/p>"}

The Government welcomes Heathrow Airport Limited\u2019s (HAL) commitment to follow public sector procurement rules for its purchases of steel. It is one of a number of commitments HAL has already made to British industry, including the development of supply chain hubs across the country and that 95 per cent of the procurement spend will be with the UK supply chain. The Government has not made an assessment of the effect that this commitment will have on the strength of the UK steel industry. HAL\u2019s own assessment is that expansion at Heathrow will require tens of thousands of tonnes of steel, securing hundreds of jobs across the industry.<\/p>"}

The effect on other road users is being assessed in two ways, recording both safety and emissions/congestion.<\/p>
All safety incidents on the public highway (also including at service areas, car parks etc.) are reportable under the terms of the trial. The injury incident rates (per km) for longer semi-trailers compared to other articulated HGVs were noted in the 2016 Annual Report. The longer semi-trailers on the trial are being operated more safely than the trailers they replace both nationally and on roads in urban areas, with the injury incident rate being around 30% of the rate for all articulated HGVs.<\/p>
The reduction in the number of trips required to deliver the same goods also benefits other road users in terms of reduced injury risk exposure, as well as emissions/pollution and congestion. Where longer semi-trailers are used, the 2016 Annual Report showed an average saving of one in 20 journeys (5%) across all operators rising to one in 9 ((11.5%) for those operators consistently using the trailers at maximum loading.<\/p>"}

The 2017 annual report will be published in September 2018. It will contain 2017 data, including a breakdown by both urban/rural (based on ONS areas) and by road type (Trunk/Principal/Minor). The data has not been broken down by nation.<\/p>"}

The Government recognises that all three schemes for expansion in the South East are projected to result in other airports experiencing lower growth in flights than they would have otherwise seen. However, while a Northwest Runway at Heathrow will help to secure the UK\u2019s status as a global aviation hub, other airports will continue to develop their point-to-point networks. The Department\u2019s aviation forecasts show that passenger numbers and flights at airports within the South East (excluding Heathrow) will increase by 33 per cent and 20 per cent respectively between 2016 and 2050 with expansion at Heathrow.<\/p>
<\/p>
London is the largest aviation origin and destination market in the world, and the forecasts show demand for this market growing further. This will continue to provide opportunities for airports around London and in the South East, including Stansted, to increase their services alongside any expansion at Heathrow over the longer term. Individual airport commercial strategies \u2013 which are not modelled \u2013 could help these airports to grow even faster and further.<\/p>
<\/p>
Lastly, as the Secretary of State set out in his oral statement on 05 June, any new operational runway at Heathrow is still a number of years away. This is why Government supports airports beyond Heathrow making best use of their existing runways. However, the Government recognises that the development of airports can have positive and negative effects, including on noise levels, and it considers that any proposals should be judged on their individual merits by the appropriate planning authority, taking careful account of all relevant considerations, particularly economic and environmental.<\/p>"}
