The High Court has approved easyJet’s application for a Judicial Review into the regulatory process that allowed a massive increase in Gatwick Airport charges earlier this year.

This is the first time that the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has been subject to a judicial review for a regulatory price decision.

In March the CAA announced price controls for both Gatwick and Heathrow allowing a 21% increase for 2008/09 at Gatwick and a 23.5% increase at Heathrow.

The announcement sparked outrage by many airlines, and in April easyJet said it would challenge the increase through a judicial review.
