The charges will fall to £23.73 per passenger in 2025, and they will drop by an additional two pence in 2026 to £23.71.
Previously, the proposed caps stood at £25.24 and £25.28, respectively.
The news comes following a ruling from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in October after it weighed in on a row between Heathrow Airport and several popular airlines like British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. At the time, Heathrow Airport argued that it should be able to charge up to £40 per passenger for its landing fees. This was in a bid to recover revenue lost during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Landing fee charges are typically passed on to holidaymakers through the cost of their tickets. Even though the cost of landing fees at Heathrow Airport are set to drop, significantly cheaper tickets might not be on the cards.
