Baggage handler demands Heathrow red tape overhaul amid cost scrutiny

Menzies Aviation has joined the Heathrow Reimagined campaign, calling for an overhaul of Heathrow's regulatory model due to high costs and poor service compared to global peers. The campaign, supported by British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, argues that current passenger fees, already the highest in the world, will double with the planned £49bn third runway. Menzies' European boss emphasized the need for regulatory reform to ensure economic benefits from expansion, warning that failure to act could disadvantage the UK in global aviation.
