Britain’s biggest airport warned of the slowdown due to the deteriorating economic outlook, the impact of a new wave of COVID-19 and the escalating situation in Ukraine
Britain’s biggest airport Heathrow warned of a possible slowdown in travel demand this winter due to the deteriorating economic outlook, the impact of a new wave of COVID-19 and the escalating situation in Ukraine.
Heathrow, situated west of London, said on Tuesday that while it expected peak Christmas days to be very busy, the outlook was uncertain. Britons face a squeeze on their leisure spending due to rising inflation and higher household bills. “While we face many economic headwinds, as well as the legacy of COVID, our aim is to get back to full capacity,” Heathrow chief executive John Holland-Kaye said in a statement.
The cap limited flight cancellations as the airport struggled to cope with the rebound in travel due to labor shortages.
