After US$4bil in losses, Heathrow tells UK to open up travel


Passenger levels at Heathrow were about 20%-25% of their pre-pandemic levels, while European airports are already back to about 50%, said Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye.(pic)

LONDON: London’s Heathrow Airport has urged Britain to open up travel to vaccinated passengers after its recovery fell behind hubs elsewhere in Europe, pushing its cumulative pandemic losses to US$4bil (RM16.9bil)

Heathrow, which before the pandemic was Europe’s busiest airport, said Britain’s travel restrictions were suppressing trade volumes and traveller demand, and government action was needed quickly or jobs would be lost.
