Heathrow terminals should be opened up to competition: IAG

London

HEATHROW terminals should be run by companies other than the airport operator, the owner of British Airways said on Monday, continuing its long-standing call for lower costs at Europe's busiest airport.

IAG, which owns British Airways plus Iberia, Aer Lingus and other carriers, said in a submission to Britain's aviation regulator, the CAA, that bringing third parties such as airlines themselves in to run parts of Heathrow would create competition and keep costs down.
