Commercial Revenue Assessment – HAL H8 Price Control
Skylark was engaged by the London Airline Consultative Committee, on behalf of IATA to provide an independent, evidence-based review of HAL’s commercial revenue forecasts for the H8 regulatory period (2027–2031) to support the CAA in the H8 Price Control Review. This included:
Independent assessment of HAL’s commercial baseline, reviewing historic performance, efficiency, and drivers of variance across all non-aero revenue streams
Targeted analysis of each commercial category to identify where HAL’s H8 forecasts may over- or under-state revenues
Top-down benchmarking of Heathrow’s commercial performance against UK and international peers to sense-check revenue potential and efficiency assumptions
Triangulation of findings to develop and alternative business plan to submit to the CAA for consideration when setting H8 Charges and to highlight key opportunities for improving revenue performance under H8
