Breaking up BAA monopoly long overdue - Baker
20 August 2008


Commenting on today’s Competition Commission report, which recommends that BAA sell two of its three London airports, Liberal Democrat Shadow Transport Secretary, Norman Baker said:

"Today’s decision is a victory for UK air passengers who have put up with a second class service at what should be London’s first class airports.

"The Liberal Democrats were the only party to call for the sale of two of the London airports.

"Breaking up the BAA monopoly is a long overdue move to make aviation fairer to passengers. The next step is to end the hidden public subsidy to the aviation industry to make air travel fair to the environment as well."
