British Airways cancellations after Heathrow passenger cap – affected destinations | Travel News | Travel

Extra Britons are prone to be impacted by cancellations after Heathrow launched a passenger cap.

The airport CEO stated: “Over the previous few weeks, as departing passenger numbers have frequently exceeded 100,000 a day, now we have began to see durations when service drops to a degree that isn’t acceptable: lengthy queue instances, delays for passengers requiring help, luggage not travelling with passengers or arriving late, low punctuality and last-minute cancellations.

“Our evaluation is that the utmost variety of each day departing passengers that airways, airline floor handlers and the airport can collectively serve over the summer season is not more than 100,000.

On common solely about 1,500 of those 4,000 each day seats have at present been offered to passengers, and so we’re asking our airline companions to cease promoting summer season tickets to restrict the affect on passengers.”
