5 AIRPORTS STATISTICS 1999/2000 PREFACE This is the sixth volume in the CRI statistical series covering the UK Airports industry. The CRI statistics are intended to facilitate objective comparisons between airports. The statistics help fulfil the CRI's objective to promote a greater understanding of the regulated network industries which play such an important part in providing essential public services. The CRI's series of statistics is intended to be accurate, relevant and accessible to a wide range of readers. It therefore sets the statistics in context by providing background information on the industry concerned and its regulation. This volume includes an Overview by Stuart Condie and Peter Flanagan of BAA and information on: the regulatory environment industry structure trends in passenger numbers. The accounts from which the financial information in this publication is derived are, for the most part, prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Acts. In addition, those airports subject to economic regulation under the Airports Act 1986 must disclose certain economic regulatory information, and this has also been included in the publication. Acknowledgements The CRI is grateful to the participating airports for providing the information requested. Without their co-operation this publication would not have been possible. Whilst it is intended to be informative and a contribution to the better understanding of the airports industry, it does not necessarily represent the views of the organisations and individuals from whom facts and figures have been obtained. The CRI wishes to thank Gordon Parsons of Cardiff International Airport for his help in developing the publication and the collection of statistics and Stuart Condie and Peter Flanagan for contributing the Overview and their editorial assistance. Responsibility for any omissions or errors in publication remain with the CRI. Comments or suggestions on the statistics will be very welcome, addressed to: Peter Vass, Director - CRI, School of Management, University of Bath, Bath, BA2 7AY, Tel: , Fax: Peter Vass Director, CRI February 2001 iii

6 THE UK AIRPORTS INDUSTRY STATISTICAL NOTES 1. Year-end for all accounts is 31 st March 2000 with the exception of Bournemouth, East Midlands and London City Airports whose year-end is 31 st December Humberside s data for 1998/99 and 1999/2000 are for 14 month and 10 month periods respectively. This will effect percentage calculations. 3. Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester Airports (shown in capitals) are the four airports designated for price cap regulation as well as being subject to economic regulation by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). 4. The standard table layout in Airport Statistics 1999/2000 includes subtotals for four airports groups: BAA, Manchester Airport plc, TBI and National Express. These subtotals should be used with caution: they reflect the industry structure in 1999/ The TBI subtotal is for Belfast and Cardiff only. It does not reflect the 25% interest which TBI has in London Luton Airport. 6. Highlands & Islands Airports (HIAL) comprises the following airports: Barra, Benbecula, Campbeltown, Inverness, Islay, Kirkwall, Stornoway, Sumburgh, Tiree and Wick. 7. London Southend and Biggin Hill belong to the Holding company Regional Airports Ltd (RAL). These are not represented with a subtotal in this edition. 8. Manchester - with Humberside International Airport results since acquisition excluded. 9. Glasgow Prestwick did not report for the current statistics. 10. n/a denotes data not available denotes data not calculable. 12. Percentage changes for profit and loss are shown as a plus (the + sign is not shown) where there is an improvement in performance, ie, an increase in profit or a reduction in a loss. Where the percentage change is preceded by a minus, this is where there has been a worsening of performance, ie, a reduction in a profit or an increase in a loss. 13. All percentage changes are rounded to the nearest whole number. 14. As some figures are unavailable totals and subtotals should be used with caution, especially % changes. 15. Figures may not add exactly because of rounding. 16. Most figures in the tables in chapters 2, 3 and 4 are rounded to the nearest thousand or million. Percentage changes calculated from these rounded figures may be slightly different to those shown in the % change since columns, which are calculated from the unrounded raw data. 17. Percentage changes in the tables are wherever possible calculated from unrounded figures (eg, figures as shown in the appendices) whereas tables themselves may show rounded figures for ease of presentation. iv

10 AIRPORTS STATISTICS 1999/2000 OVERVIEW Stuart Condie & Peter Flanagan Profit generated by airport charges Figure 1 shows the fluctuating trend of profits/losses generated by airport charges over the last 11 years. For the current year, the total increase in profit for all reporting airports was 15.0m (+15.98%). Increases were most marked in value terms in the BAA London airports, where profits from airport charges increased by 46%. Other airports that reported significant increases were Bristol (51%) and TBI airports at Belfast and Cardiff (19%). This increased profitability from airport charges was offset by reductions in the reported results of Manchester (-71%), Newcastle (-55%) and Luton (-79%). Figure 1: Profit/loss generated by airport charges millions BAA London airports Manchester Other participating airports /89 89/90 90/91 91/92 92/93 93/94 94/95 95/96 96/97 97/98 98/99 99/00 BAA airports accounted for 88% of total profit generated from airport charges in the year for the 27 airports taking part (1999 was 73%), followed by TBI airports at 11% (1999 was also 11%) and Manchester s at 2% (1999 was 9%). For the remaining airports, net losses from airport charges (notably Luton) were greater than profits, accounting for approximately 1% of the total. Revenue from airport charges increased by 7% in the year, compared to an increase in passenger numbers (excluding transit) of 5.2%. Yield per passenger increased by 1.7% on average across the 27 reporting airports, up from 5.53 to For those airports subject to economic regulation, namely Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester, the average yield was 5.00 per passenger, an increase of 2.3% over the previous period. This included some Stuart Condie, Chief Economist, BAA and Peter Flanagan, Senior Finance Manager - Strategy, BAA vii

11 THE UK AIRPORTS INDUSTRY recompense, allowed for in the regulatory formula, for the loss of income at those airports arising from the abolition of intra EU duty free sales as from 1 July Profit generated by other operational activities Figure 2 shows that, overall, profits from other operational activities fell by 57million to 514million (-10%). The principal reason for this was the abolition of intra EU duty free sales, which affected all airports serving EU destinations. Most of the reporting airports showed reduced profits from this source in the year, the exceptions being Belfast (+11%) and Exeter (+117%). Overall, revenue from other operational activities fell by 5.6% in the year, with costs up by 0.37%. Figure 2: Profit/loss generated by other operational activities millions BAA London airports Manchester Other participating airports /89 89/90 90/91 91/92 92/93 93/94 94/95 95/96 96/97 97/98 98/99 99/00 For details of the profits earned by each reporting airport refer to Chapter 2: for details of revenue and costs see Appendix C. Trends in passenger numbers Trends in passenger numbers since 1989/90 are shown in Figure 3. The figures plotted include both terminal passengers, who join or leave an aircraft at the airport, and transit passengers, who are passing through the airport, arriving and departing on the same aircraft. These passengers do not as a rule pass through the commercial outlets at the airport. viii

In the current year under review terminal passenger growth was 5.0% to almost 167 million (this excludes Prestwick which was reported in 1998/99 but not in 99/00). BAA s seven UK airports account for 71% of the total (1999 was 71%). Within this, Stansted continued its strong growth, moving to an annual total of over 10 million passengers for the first time, an increase of 33% and a market share of 6%. The four London airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton) accounted for 65% of the total, the same as the previous year. Manchester s passenger numbers increased only marginally but the airport still accounts for 11% of the total (1999 was 11%). Of the regional airports, Liverpool recorded growth of 62%, and Luton 24% in the year, reflecting their increasing importance. A category by category analysis shows that the strongest growth was in scheduled international traffic, which grew by almost 7% in the year to a total of 97.6 million passengers. Of this increase of 6 million passengers, 5 million passed through the four London airports. Scheduled domestic traffic increased by 3.2%, whereas charter traffic was sluggish by comparison, growing by just 1.1%. There have been two noteworthy events concerning passenger traffic. One is the continuing spectacular growth of the so called low cost carriers (particularly Ryanair, go, and Buzz at Stansted, and EasyJet at Luton and Liverpool, which has been the main engine behind growth in short haul scheduled international traffic. The second is the recent announcement by British Airways about restructuring at Heathrow and Gatwick; details remain unclear but several US routes will transfer to Heathrow and certain short haul routes will either be taken up by franchise operators and City Flyer Express or be cut completely. ix

13 THE UK AIRPORTS INDUSTRY The political environment During the period since the last report, the following political developments have been significant for UK airports. Competition Review In the Budget of March 1999 the Chancellor announced a review of airports competition, primarily to decide whether it was in the best economic interest of the country to maintain the current ownership structure of BAA s south east airports. On 9 November 2000, the Deputy Prime Minister announced his decision that BAA should keep its three London airports. BAA, however, will continue to be subject to economic regulation. John Prescott said: New regulation for BAA will ensure it invests properly to help meet demand for air travel where this is appropriate, and improve the quality of services it offers. The review concluded that, due to the shortage of capacity in the south east, the scope for competition between airports is limited. Industry and passengers would benefit more from modified regulation than from BAA being required to divest itself of one or more London airports. The review also concluded that airlines should be allowed to trade airport take off and landing slots, and that newly created ones should be auctioned. Economic regulation Periodic reviews The next periodic reviews for those airports subject to economic regulation by CAA (Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Manchester) will cover airport charges for the period April March The process leading up to these reviews has commenced and is more fully described in Chapter 1. Regional airport studies The Government s 1998 White Paper on integrated transport set the scene for the development of airport policy over the next 30 years. A number of regional studies were set up, which now includes a study of the South East and East of England (referred to as SERAS). A framework was proposed for the appraisal of any airport capacity or proposal for traffic management that might be brought forward. This was published in November The regional consultation documents to be published in 2001 will appraise the economic environmental and social impacts of a range of levels of capacity and distributions of capacity between airports, to consider the best use of capacity in each region. x

14 STUART CONDIE & PETER FLANAGAN SERAS will look at all options for future development in the south east, ranging from the impact of no additional capacity provision, other than that already in the planning system, to various options for additional capacity within the region. This study will be followed by public consultation but will not be issued until a decision has been taken on a fifth Terminal at Heathrow. The future of aviation On 12 December 2000 the Minister for Transport, Lord Macdonald, launched the Government s Air Transportation Consultation document, the first step in developing the 30 year strategy for the aviation industry. This strategy will eventually be set out in a new White Paper on air transport. The consultation examines the following issues: the need for the industry to improve passenger services; the most effective use of airport and airspace capacity, including runway slots; the effects of aviation on the environment and the best means of limiting these; through, for example, regulation, economic instruments and voluntary agreements; integrating airports with existing surface transport infrastructure; how to further boost the success of the UK s airlines; the potential development of the UK s air freight sector. In a very important speech for UK airports, Lord Macdonald said: The UK has always been at the forefront of aviation. As we enter a new century, the question is what course do we want aviation to follow for the future? Continuing, he said: Demand for air travel seems set to continue to grow. Our forecasts show that demand may almost double over the next 15 years. Yet some of our airports are already close to the limits of their current capacity and expansion of airports almost always has significant environmental impacts. The deadline for responses to the consultation is 12 April 2001 Heathrow Terminal 5 The Inspectors report was delivered to DETR in December The Government decision is not expected until after the 2001 General Election. xi

16 AIRPORTS STATISTICS 1999/ THE REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT The principal aspects of regulation are airport licensing and safety, economic regulation, international obligations, traffic regulation, aviation security and noise. This section looks in some detail at the framework for economic regulation of airports. The regulatory system aims to provide safeguards against distortion of the air travel market through predatory pricing or other monopoly abuses by airport operators. It also aims to prevent lax cost control and inefficiency. Under the system established by the Airports Act 1986 economic regulation applies to all those airports whose annual turnover has exceeded 1m in at least two of the three previous financial years. These airports must seek permission from the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to levy charges and must also meet certain conditions in the presentation of their accounts. At present, the CAA s Economic Regulation Group regulates forty-five airports which exceed the 1m turnover threshold under the Airports Act and the Airports (Northern Ireland) Order Price caps Under the Airports Act, airports can also be designated for price cap regulation as well as being subject to economic regulation. Currently, Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted (owned by BAA plc) and Manchester are the only four designated airports. These airports are subject to a revenue yield RPI-X price cap. The revenue yield approach applies the price cap to the ratio of revenue to a major output, ie, revenue per unit of output. In this case, airport charges are regulated by a price cap in terms of revenue per passenger handled. The basic charges to which the price cap applies are the runway charge, the aircraft parking charge, and the departing passenger charge. The formula to govern the revenue which may be raised through airport charges is set every five years. Prior to setting the price caps, the CAA is obliged to refer the designated airports to the Competition Commission (CC), formerly the Monopolies and Mergers Commission (MMC), which then make recommendations which the CAA considers, but is not obliged to follow, when setting the price limits. Between 1987 and 1992, BAA s London airports were subjected to RPI-1 capping on airport charges. Following MMC recommendations, the CAA proposed price caps for the next five year period beginning 1 April The CAA's final decision came after consultation with the aviation industry, including BAA: price caps for 1992 to 1997 were set at RPI-8 for the first two years, RPI-4 for the third year and RPI-1 for the remaining two years. A similar process determined the price caps for BAA's London airports for the current five year period that commenced on 1st April Heathrow and Gatwick's combined charges are subject to an RPI-3 formula; within this combined price cap the differential between the two airports charges is required to rise by at least 1% each year. This will result in charges at Heathrow rising relative to those at Gatwick. For Stansted the price cap is RPI+1. Following the delay in the conclusion of the Public Inquiry into Terminal 5 at Heathrow (completed in March 1999), the CAA decided to extend the current regulatory period for the London airports by one year to March This will enable the next Review to take into 1

17 THE UK AIRPORTS INDUSTRY account the decision on Terminal 5, which is expected following the next General Election, currently anticipated in Manchester Airport s five year price cap periods used to start one year later than for BAA. Its price cap formulae were RPI-1 for and RPI-3 for The CAA decided in 1997 that the price cap for the five year period commencing 1st April 1998 would be RPI-5. Following the extension to BAA s current review period, both BAA s and Manchester s reviews now will take place at the same time. There is an additional security component to the formula for both BAA and Manchester, giving RPI-X+S. The security component, S, allowed the airport to pass through 75% of any additional security costs imposed by government between 1987 and 1992 (Manchester 1988 and 1993). Subsequently, S has been set at 95%. The current formulae also allowed recovery of some of the intra-eu duty and tax free revenue which was lost following the withdrawal of allowances on 30 June For BAA's London airports this is achieved by a D factor; for Manchester it was taken into account when calculating X. The role of the Regulator The economic regulation of airports by the CAA dates from the 1986 Airports Act. The objectives of the CAA are to: further the reasonable interests of airport users; promote the efficient, economic and profitable operation of airports; encourage investment in new airport facilities to satisfy anticipated user demand; impose the minimum amount of regulation consistent with these duties. When imposing the initial limit on charges and before making any subsequent amendments to the limits on charges the CAA is compelled to refer the case to the Competition Commission. The Commission is then charged with investigating and reporting on: the question as to what are the maximum amounts that should be capable of being levied by the airport operator by way of airport charges at the airport; whether an airport operator has at any time during the relevant period pursued a course of conduct which has operated against the public interest and if so whether the adverse effects could be remedied by the imposition of further conditions on the airport operator. These courses of conduct relate to the levying of airport charges and any other operational activities carried out by the operator. Airports regulation is therefore unique amongst the regulated industries in that the Competition Commission has a direct interventionist role rather than being limited to receiving references from other regulators, the Secretaries of State and the Director General of Fair Trading. There is therefore no appeals body within the current system of regulation for airports 2

18 AIRPORTS STATISTICS 1999/2000 The Airports Act 1986 and associated price control conditions do not include any explicit protection for airport users in respect of quality of service. The Competition Commission and the CAA may, however, take account of service quality when determining appropriate price controls. The CAA s Safety Regulation Group is responsible for airport safety but security is a matter for the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions. The CAA also advises the Secretary of State on traffic distribution rules and capacity allocation schemes, having regard to the reasonable interests of air transport service users. International obligations Although the CAA is the airports economic regulator, the international nature of the airports business means that there are certain international agreements which have to be observed. To this end the Secretary of State has the power to override the price controls imposed upon the designated airports by the CAA in order to meet the UK s international obligations. Article 15 of the Chicago Convention provides a basic framework of non-discrimination, stipulating that no airline should be penalised with regard to access or level of charges compared with a national carrier. The 1977 US/UK Air Service Agreement, known as Bermuda 2, provides more detail about the structure of charges. Further agreement in 1994 meant that Bermuda 2 was amended to eliminate passenger charges from the definition of user charges. The 1983 Memorandum of Understanding between the US and the UK meant that the UK could look for no more than a reasonable rate of return on investment. In particular, when computing revenues that contribute to the rate of return, no distinction could be made as to the sources of airport revenues, including duty free sales and other commercial revenues (the so-called single till ). The March 1994 arbitration settlement cancelled the 1983 Memorandum of Understanding and the single till is no longer an international obligation, although the settlement acknowledged that there was at the time no intention to depart from the single till principle. So, although the price cap mechanism only applies to airport charges, its level is determined after taking into account the expected profitability of an operator s commercial activities. This single till principle is one of the sources of charging inefficiencies at British airports. Commentators have highlighted the ludicrous result of commercial success leading to reduced airport charges at Heathrow and Gatwick in spite of growing congestion due to limited capacity. The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) - a branch of the UN - held a conference in Montreal in June 2000 on the Economics of Airports and Air Navigation Services. One item discussed was reform of the current ICAO guidelines to member states and in particular the recommendation that airport related income from commercial as well as operational activities be taken into account when setting airport charges. A majority of member state representatives felt that the time had come to drop this recommendation and the ICAO secretariat is now establishing the next steps in this regard. ICAO guidelines also provide for: a reasonable rate of return concept non-discrimination against airport users. 3

19 THE UK AIRPORTS INDUSTRY The next review The next price review covers airport charges for the period for BAA s London airports and Manchester. Before the Competition Commission reference in December 2001 (see above), the CAA announced in July 2000 that it intended to review the current issues in airport regulation. Following a consultation period, CAA published in October 2000 a position paper entitled The CAA Approach to Economic Regulation and Work Programme for the Airport Reviews This set out its interpretation of its statutory objectives and covered a number of possible lines of approach which it intended to follow. The key elements it is considering are: the form of the price cap, pricing structures and a default price cap benchmarking of airports incremental cost pricing treatment of capital expenditure reform of the single till service quality the scope for competitive provision of facilities within airports. More detailed consultation papers on each of these areas have already been issued for single till, service quality and benchmarking (December 2000), with further papers due in January/February Further details are available on CAA s website Competition Airports are nodes in the network of air corridors that cover the globe. The promotion of competition is not currently a feature of airport regulation; indeed, the CAA has no legal obligation to promote competition between airports. BAA was privatised as a near monopoly in the supply of airport services to the London area. However, its market share has fallen gradually over time with the increasing importance of regional airports and passengers transferring via competing European hubs such as Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt. A competition review was announced by the Chancellor in his March 1999 Budget to investigate BAA s ownership of the three largest airports serving London. Following much debate the review was concluded in November 2000 by the Deputy Prime Minister stating that BAA should keep these airports. The review also concluded that airlines should be allowed to trade airport take off and landing slots, and that newly created ones should be auctioned. Landing slots at congested airports are preciously guarded by existing operators because of their high commercial value. A set of rules dominated by grandfather rights is used to allocate slots between carriers. Under these rights at Heathrow the existing airline holding a slot retains it for the next period (95% of runway traffic is allocated by this method). Under a EC Regulation 95/93 an airline must relinquish its slot if it fails to use it for a minimum number of times (80% of allowable 4

20 AIRPORTS STATISTICS 1999/2000 use). Despite new entrants being allowed 50% of slots relinquished in this manner, as well as 50% of newly created slots, plus those voluntarily returned to the slots co-ordinator, there is in practice little new entrant access by these means due to the small number of slots involved. Further EU legislation in this area has been promised but finding a compromise with Member States is likely to be difficult. Apart from airport charges, airlines also pay ground handling charges for airport services such as check-in, baggage handling and ramp services. Such services are provided on a competitive basis, either by third party operators or by the airlines themselves (selfhandling). The licensing of these handling activities is governed by recent EU and U.K. legislation. Conclusions The airports industry is structurally different from many other regulated entities for the following reasons: the industry has always been very vertically separated (travel agent/tour operators/ airlines/handling agents/airports/atc) even before privatisation; airports have a heterogeneous range of outputs - serving both passengers and airlines; airport charges are paid by airlines who have high market power and are often politically well connected and litigious; a large proportion of airport costs are related to compliance with safety legislation laid down by CAA Safety Regulation Group and security legislation specified by the Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR); aviation has always been an international business so that cross-border airport competition is becoming more significant and EU and international legislation increasingly to be taken account of by U.K. regulators. The main problem facing price controlled airports and their customers today is one of capacity and investment. Capacity additions are not only becoming more expensive on a unit cost basis but are also subject to increasingly time consuming and unpredictable planning procedures. The forthcoming CAA review of Manchester and BAA s London airports will have to try and balance the legitimate interests of all the parties concerned. 5

22 2 ECONOMIC REGULATION Introduction AIRPORTS STATISTICS 1999/2000 All airports whose annual turnover has exceeded 1m in at least two of the three previous financial years are subject to economic regulation (unless the owner and operator are not the same or a separate airport company has not been set up). At present this applies to 45 of the UK Airports. As well as having to seek permission from the Civil Airports Authority (CAA) to levy charges, these airports must also meet certain conditions in the presentation of their accounts. The accounts must disclose the income and expenditure attributable to airport charges, other operational activities and non-operational activities. In the Airports Act 1986 airport charges are defined as: charges levied on operators of aircraft in connection with the landing, parking or taking off of aircraft at the airport (including charges that are to any extent determined by reference to the number of passengers on board the aircraft, but excluding charges payable by virtue of regulation under section 73 of the 1982 Act (Air navigation services etc.)) and charges levied on aircraft passengers in connection with their arrival at, or departure from, the airport by air. Other Operational activities, in relation to an airport, are defined in the Act as any activities which are carried on wholly or mainly for the benefit of users of the airport or the revenues from which are wholly or mainly attributable to payments by such users. Other operational activities include apron services, baggage handling, hangarage, retailing, on-site property rental and car parking.

28 3 OPERATIONAL TRENDS Introduction AIRPORTS STATISTICS 1999/2000 This chapter provides some basic statistical information gathered on the UK Airports industry, including data on the number of terminal and transit passengers as well as the number of Air Transport Movements (ATMs) at each airport. Comparisons between airports in this publication are to be made with some caution because of the differences between airports in the way that services are provided. This applies in particular to Table 3.5 which shows the average number of employees at each airport. For example, at some airports Air Traffic Control facilities are provided by the Civil Aviation Authority whereas at others the Airport Company employs its own Air Traffic Control staff. Similarly, services such as car parking, aircraft refuelling, ground handling services and other commercial activities are provided by retailers at some airports and by the direct employees of airport companies at others. A few airports also contract out office and administration services and have no direct employees.

34 4 FINANCIAL TRENDS Introduction AIRPORTS STATISTICS 1999/2000 This chapter provides some basic financial information extracted from the companies profit and loss accounts and balance sheets. Table 4.1 provides figures for operating income, this comprises traffic income and commercial income. It should be noted that traffic income is not the same as revenue raised from airport charges. Traffic income, which is wider, encompasses airport charges as well as apron services, baggage handling and hangarage. Once again comparisons between airports in this chapter are to be made with some caution because of the differences between airports in the way that service are provided. For example, at some airports Air Traffic Control facilities are provided by the Civil Aviation Authority whereas at others the Airport Company employs its own Air traffic Control staff. Similarly, services such as car parking aircraft refuelling, ground handling services and other commercial activities are provided by retailers at some airports and by the airport company at others.
