Impact of Heathrow expansion on passenger growth at UK airports If approval is given for a third runway at Heathrow Airport, the number of passengers forecast in 25 to use UK airports outside of the London area is expected to fall by 8.5%. The following tables show the impact on individual airports, and a comparison with the previous forecasts presented by the Airports Commission in 215.

Annex Previous analysis based on Airports Commission data (215) AEF analysis based on data from Airports Commission Strategic Fit: Forecasts, July 215 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/439687/strategic-fit-updated-forecasts.pdf The Airports Commission published forecasts of passenger numbers at UK airports both with and without South East runway expansion. The carbon traded scenario effectively represents the business as usual case under which no new policies are introduced to constrain emissions. The carbon capped scenario assumes that the Government acts to limit aviation emissions in line with the Climate Change Act. The Commission argued that a new Heathrow runway could be compatible with the carbon cap. But as shown below, if Heathrow expands, growth at every other UK airport would have to somehow be constrained (compared with a no expansion scenario) in order to keep emissions within the limit. Under the carbon traded scenario, some airports do benefit from Heathrow expansion, although the majority lose out, as an increasing proportion of traffic moves to Heathrow. Figures are available on request.
