Competition Commission 
Report Confirms
 Need to Break-up BAA Monopoly

Ryanair, Europe's largest low fares carrier, today 
(4
th
 
Nov
) 
warned that the Competition Commission's (CC) report on the Price Review for Stansted
 
underlines 
the urgent need for Stansted airport to be sold by the BAA monopoly which currently controls London's main airports.  The price increases 
identified 
in the CC's report 
f
urther reward the BAA monopoly and 
will further 
reduce
 
passenger numbers at 
Stansted
 
Airport
.


Speaking today, Jim Callaghan, Ryanair, said: 


"
The Competition Commission is 
hamstrung by the 
current failed regulatory system
 which has allowed the BAA monopoly to build up huge amounts of unnecessary capital expenditure 
over the years. This Taj Mahal approach to expenditure 
rewards the airport monopoly with higher charges to the travelling public.
  

The CC had recommended the sale of two 
London
 airports in its earlier report noting that BAA's joint ownership of the three main 
London
 
airports and the flawed regulatory system were having a highly negative effect on competition.  It is now clear that BAA needs to be forced to immediately sell off Stansted airport in order to allow the market to introduce lower pr
ices and better 
services 
for consumers
.

Ryanair will continue to work with the CC to ensure that Stansted is sold off as soon as possible.
"
