BAA: "Trends currently particularly relevant include a slower shift to large aircraft and a stronger focus on more spacious premium cabins than volume growth in economy class. The review also incorporates the effects of sustained higher oil prices and aviation taxation. The review's preliminary conclusion is that although passenger traffic will continue growing at Heathrow over the coming years, it will do so at a more modest pace than previously assumed. This view is consistent with recent airline feedback but remains subject to further consultation with Heathrow's airline community," Company statement. Source: BAA, 27-Apr-2011.
