Heathrow's High Stakes Gamble: Will a Rival Airport Finally Bring Competition? The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) may force Heathrow to open its third runway and new terminal to rival bidders.

At stake is not just Heathrow's dominance as London's primary airport but also the interests of airlines, businesses, and consumers who rely on it for travel and trade.
