London’s Heathrow Airport has imposes a cap on passenger numbers and has ordered airlines to stop selling tickets for summer flights, as the UK’s aviation sector struggles to cope with the soaring demand for air travel.
No more than 100,000 daily departing passengers are permitted from July 12 until Sept. 11, the airport announced.
Heathrow Chief Executive John Holland-Kaye said, “Our assessment is that the maximum number of daily departing passengers that airlines, airline ground handlers, and the airport can collectively serve over the summer is no more than 100,000.”
To give our passengers a better, more reliable service this summer and to keep our colleagues safe – we’ll be implementing a departing passenger cap of 100k from today to 11 Sept. Read more from our CEO about why we’re doing this here: https://t.co/kf3WdJeLbe pic.twitter.com/bJSlf3L95f…
