Airports (Amendment) Bill - Changes to Airport Rules

This bill changes the rules about how airports operate in the UK. It updates existing airport laws to give the government new powers over airport management and operations. The bill allows ministers to make new regulations about airport services, safety standards, and how airports handle passengers. It also changes how airport charges are set and regulated. The government says this will improve airport efficiency and passenger experience. Critics say it gives too much power to ministers without proper oversight. The changes would affect all UK airports, from small regional ones to major hubs like Heathrow. Airlines and passengers would see changes in how airports operate day-to-day.
