That this House condemns the decision of the Right honourable Member for Edinburgh, Pentlands to make Heathrow an open airport, thereby significantly and fundamentally changing hte United Kingdom's airport distribution rules primarily to assist two bankrupt American airlines; notes that this decision will not assist with ensuring continued access to Heathrow from regional and Scottish airports and can only lead to increasing pressure on Heathrow which will be reflected in soaring landing charges that will impact most on regional and Scottish airports and smaller airline companies and will undermine Gatwick and the interline capacity of regional and Scottish airpots; notes that allowing access to Heathrow to American Airlines and United Airlines with their powerful hub-and-spoke network and their control over American domestic airline traffic will most likely guarantee them the major part of passenger carriage across the atlantic and will seriously damage Britain's major international air company, British Airways and their employees; and further regrets that the Right honourable Member failed to consult those most directly affected by his decision, the workers or their representatives.
