Capital Investment Plan 2009 - Heathrow Airport

HAL envisages the consultation following the same timeline as that outlined for the
“vision” as both issues are inextricably linked.
2.3 Context for the next 10 Years (2009 to 2019)
The introduction of the third runway and associated infrastructure into the Heathrow
campus will introduce a series of challenges for the operation and development of the
airport. At the time of publishing this CIP 2009, after the Government announcement
on additional capacity at Heathrow earlier in the year, the workstreams to develop and
evaluate options for the future of the airport have not progressed sufficiently to enable
HAL to publish detailed cost and programme information for projects in Q6 and beyond.
At the first special CIP Working Group (Refer to 6.1.5) held to consult on CIP 2009 10
HAL outlined the following approach to the airline community and received their
endorsement to it.
For the reasons outlined in sections 2.1 and 2.2 HAL do not wish to present a complete
development programme for Q6 and beyond that is populated with detailed cost and
time phased projects as to do so would suggest that such programme;
• Is HAL’s considered response to the Government announcement on adding capacity
at Heathrow,
• Has had a number of options developed, evaluated and consulted upon to a point
at which a proposal for development can be made,
• Is reasonably definitive and
• Is considered by HAL and the airline community to be affordable in both the short
and long term.
As a result the cost and time schedules provided as an appendix to this document detail
only the capital investment in Q5 and do not present complete information for Q6 and
beyond.
Project Definition Sheets for possible investments in Q6 and beyond are provided for
information and as an indication of the possible size and nature of the development on
the current Heathrow campus. Any projects associated with the third runway and
associated infrastructure are excluded from this publication. Appendix A: Project for the
Sustainable Development of Heathrow provides additional information.
At JST meetings 11
and the special CIPWG 12 , HAL has outlined its intention to use the
“vision” and masterplan attribute workstreams to set the context for joint prioritisation
of future airport development with the airline community. HAL further outlined that it
would see such prioritisation including consideration of the affordability of such
development by the airline community. The flow diagram provided below captures this
information.
