UK Transport Minister Will Fix Heathrow

The United Kingdom's new transport minister, Peter Hammond, has said that he wants to make travel through London's Heathrow a more pleasant experience. How does he plan to do this? Increased regulation of airport operators, like BAA, of course!

Right now, 7% of Heathrow's income is up to be fined, but right now it is being considered to increase that to 10%. The airport can be docked for things like excessive waiting times at security or a lack of seats in the terminal.

It should be noted that Heathrow has been fined before - 2008 the airport paid out 7.34 million pounds to the airlines, for example. But these moves would be more stringent.
